Maybe they couldn't bury it, but keep it under the table (against a certain incentive) until it was due to be phased out anyways?
With so few new consumer devices being launched in Europe per year, it should be super easy to check each new device to market.

Probably they digged deeper, yet its unbelievable it took 4 years for this to come out... I'm just wondering if it has anything to do with 15's launch.

Why don’t we also ban the Nokia 7650 while we’re at it? Or the Sony Ericsson K800i?

Anonymous, 13 Sep 2023you cannot get cancer from non ionising radiation, go back ... moreI might add that, I wasn't being too literal, and I never meant someone actully caught cancer. I was just taunting them over the 4 year delay...
Why is sarcasm not understood clearly?
Secondly, while not particularly cancerous, I'm not sure if it is totally safe as such. Even Ultraviolet rays are notorious, while they're just that... rays.

All those people saying you can't get cancer from non-ionizing radiation. Why do the SAR restrictions exist then? Who came up with this idea?

Didn't Apple literally just remove the iPhone 12 from their store entirely after the iPhone 15 pricing announcement? A bit late for France to 'ban' sales of the iPhone 12 if Apple themselves have already stopped selling them.

The comments here are so ideological that makes me sick. The market?, you talk about it like if it is a magical power above everything, yes the market should be regulated especially when the market (a god damm company) its not following the radiation regulation. There is something call cancer and thats why we need to be aware of this things.

So if the iPhone 12 was compliant when released. A software update increased the SAR for iphone.
Nice way to make users buy new iphone or make unhealthy change to their old beloved customers.
