It Turned Out That The Model Exceeded The Permissible Amount Of Radiation
According to the statement made by ANFR, which controls the amount of electromagnetic waves that electronic devices emit on people, in the controls made on 141 phone models, it was determined that iPhone 12s exceeded the amount of radiation allowed in Europe.
While in Europe, when a phone is held in a pocket or in the hand, it is required to have a radiation amount of 4W/kg, ANFR revealed that this amount is 5.74 W/kg in the iPhone 12 model phone.
