After France and Netherlands, South Korea also announced that it required Apple to submit a report on the radiation situation of the iPhone 12.

According to a report by Global Network citing Yonhap on September 17th, the South Korean Ministry of Science and Technology Information and Communication stated on the same day that it had requested Apple to submit a report on the radiation issue of the iPhone 12 model. Previously, the iPhone 12 model was reported to have been discontinued in the French market due to electromagnetic radiation values exceeding EU standards, and the Netherlands also requested Apple to explain the situation.

According to the report, the South Korean Ministry of Science and Technology Information and Communication explained in a press release released on the same day that "the models currently sold in the South Korean market, including the iPhone 12, comply with international standards related to electromagnetic wave safety and have passed conformity assessment certification." However, in order to dispel national anxiety, the South Korean Ministry of Science and Technology still decided to require Apple to explain the relevant situation in accordance with relevant laws.

In the future, we will ensure precise verification of four iPhone 12 models (iPhone 12, iPhone 12Pro, iPhone 12Mini, iPhone 12ProMax). The South Korean Ministry of Science and Technology Information and Communications stated that if the result of the re verification is that the electromagnetic radiation value exceeds normal standards, the Ministry of Science and Technology will order Apple to make corrections and make a decision to stop importing and selling iPhone12.

According to previous reports, on September 13th, on the occasion of Apple's release of the new generation iPhone 15, the French government announced that the iPhone 12 could not be sold in the country because it exceeded the legal range of local radio frequency exposure. On September 14th, Apple responded to allegations of excessive radiation levels on the iPhone 12, stating that the iPhone 12 model has been certified by multiple international organizations and fully meets international radiation standards. On the 15th, Agence France Presse reported that an Apple spokesperson stated in a statement that a software update would be released for the iPhone 12 phone in France to comply with standards enforced by French regulatory agencies, and looked forward to the phone continuing to be sold in France.

According to Dutch "Dutch News. nl" on September 14th, the Dutch telecommunications regulatory agency also called on US technology giant Apple to clarify the radiation situation of its iPhone 12 model.

Mobile phone radiation

Can it actually cause cancer?

Due to the lack of direct evidence, this remains a controversial issue in the academic community.

Category 2B carcinogens refer to "potentially carcinogenic to humans, with limited evidence of carcinogenicity to humans and insufficient evidence of carcinogenicity to experimental animals; or insufficient evidence of carcinogenicity to humans and sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity to experimental animals".

More radiation?

There is also a widely circulated saying: the lower the battery level of a mobile phone, the greater the radiation.

Whether on call or standby, mobile phones will emit electromagnetic signals to the nearest mobile communication base station. The strength of electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile phones (transmission power) is not directly related to the battery level of the phone.

Due to the fact that there is no direct relationship between battery power and radiation, the claim that 'using a mobile phone while charging can cause significant radiation' is also lacking in evidence.

However, some mobile phone batteries may heat up, causing temperatures to be too high and posing a danger. It is still recommended not to use the phone while charging.

The worse the phone signal

The greater the radiation?

This has a certain basis. The signal displayed on the phone is not the strength of the signal sent out by the phone, but the strength of the signal received by the phone from the base station.

If the signal of the mobile phone is very poor, it indicates that the signal from the base station is already weak when it reaches one end of the phone. Therefore, the phone will increase the power of the signal emitted in order to make the base station "hear", thereby increasing radiation.

Frequent movement during phone calls is also a similar principle. But don't worry too much, there will be an upper limit to the power emitted by the phone itself, and the radiation here will only increase relatively.

You can do this

Avoid placing the phone close to the body; Don't put your phone by the bedside when sleeping; Try to use wired headphones or hands-free to answer calls; Turn off the WiFi connection when not using the phone.

When the phone is connected to the internet, especially when the phone is dialed, the radiation level is the highest, which is about three times that of standby mode. It is best to speak again 1-2 seconds after the phone is connected.
