iPhone 6 Sar rating discrepencies
I have been considering purchasing an iPhone 6 to replace my now dreadfully slow 4s. But in my research I came across some information that gives pause for concern. When looking at the SAR ratings (specific absorbtion rate) for different cell phones, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus are said to come in at around 1.18 - 1.19 w/kg at the head while other sources list a figure of 1.58 - 1.59 w/kg for the whole body. The legal limit in the U.S. is 1.6 w/kg so both of these figures are higher than I would hope to see. Does anyone have any more information on this besides what you get from a manufacturers website? I've already looked at the Apple website SAR page so please don't direct me to that. Is the 1.59 figure accurate and if so how can they get away with selling a product that is only 0.01 watts per kilogram away from being illegal? And is it also correct that the iPhone 4s has the same SAR rating as the iPhone 6? I have noticed that a lot of this information comes from websites that claim to have RF safety cases and other accessories for cell phones. And one site in particular seems **** bent on promoting Samsung even though they supposedly have no connection to the manufacturer. So is this more FUD than fact or is there real actual cause for concern here? I'm stuck in my decision making because I love the iPhone but I love not having brain cancer more.
