Although this should matter a lot, the SAR value of a smartphone is not among the features that users consider when buying a smartphone. For those of you who don't know, the SAR value tells us what level of radiation the human tissue can absorb during a phone call, but implicitly also what level of radiation the smartphone emits.
If you are wondering how much it affects us using it iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus during phone calls, well a recent study reveals that Apple does not place a high price on the SAR value. You can see in the list below, the smartphones that emit the highest amount of radiation during a normal phone call.
The Huawei Honor 8 and P9 smartphones are on the first positions of this top, but they are followed by the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which have very high SAR values. If a Galaxy S7 has a SAR value of only 0.264, an iPhone 7 has a value almost 6 times higher, and this is a very big problem for users.
iPhone 7 generates a very high level of radiation
Although the terminals placed on the first positions in this top have a high level of radiation, the limit being 1.6, they are still within the limits imposed by the authorities in order not to affect the human body. Despite this, the use of these devices daily for long periods of time can generate unwanted effects on the human body.
- Honor 8 (1.5)
- Huawei P9 (1.43)
- iPhone 7 (1.38)
- Apple iPhone 7 Plus (1.24)
- Honor 5C (1.14)
- Sony Xperia X Compact (1.08)
- Sony Xperia XZ (0.870)
- LG G5 (0.737)
- Apple iPhone OS (0,720)
- Sony XperiaX (0.720)
The Apple company has never put much emphasis on reducing the SAR value of the iPhone terminals and I don't know how many people expected the iPhone 7 to bring a positive change from this point of view. Even for future iPhone models, we cannot expect anything different from the Americans, so the SAR value will most likely be high in the following products as well.
