PSA: iPhone 12

[kenny]

France has ruled that iPhone 12, which apple is still selling worldwide, does not meet their safety rules for radiation levels.
apple agreed to a recall them ... but only in France.
Now other European countries considering following France's lead.

What about the US and UK?
What about your iPhone 12?

How much money does apple make from their overpriced gear?
Even if apple cameras in iPhones are improving, they should pay more attention to bad optics like this.

Apple to update iPhone 12 in France over radiation

Apple will update the phone in France but not elsewhere over what it says is "not a safety concern".

Yikes, I have an iPhone 12!
Occasionally it gets so hot while charging that an error message pops up stating that charging is on hold due to phone overheating. Thanks for the PSA

You're welcome.

But I doubt apple can afford to fix yours.
apple is broke, ya know.

Besides, 12s are so passé now that they make you uncool.
But buying a new 15 will make you the envy of all.

So, the best resolution for you is simple.
Throw away your 12, and buy a new 15

Sheesh Lady! GET WITH IT!

This has nothing to do with electromagnetic radiation, don't worry. Heat is a common by-product of charging a battery, every battery will get warm during charging. If you're using a wireless charger, which is significantly less efficient than a cable, there's even more heat waste. It's actually common for iphones to pause wireless charging due to excess heat, and it's actually necessary, at the very least to protect the battery. High heat kills your battery like you wouldn't imagine, and let's not even talk about possible safety concerns about the battery integrity under harsh temperature conditions.
