Staff at Apple told to keep silent amid iPhone 12 radiation problems

BY MICHAEL THOMAS

When you purchase something from a manufacturer and that thing malfunctions, your first plan of action is to return the item to the maker in hopes of getting your money back or having the faulty item replaced, however, Apple does not seem to share this view as we are about to find out.

According to the French government, Apple’s iPhone 12 seems to be emitting more harmful radiation levels than that country has permitted for such a device.

What’s troubling is that Apple has instructed its staff to keep silent when approached by consumers of their product. Staff were told to just repeat basic information and not try to be helpful at all. Consumers searching for answers were told that if their phones were bought outside of the usual two-week period Apple would not refund their money, nor exchange the item.

What’s worse is that staff were instructed to tell customers that all phones go through rigorous testing, if the customer ever asked about safety issues with their phones.

The French government has asked Apple to stop selling the iPhone 12 because it was emitting electromagnetic waves that are too strong. Meanwhile, that country’s digital minister told Apple it has two weeks to fix the problem by using a software update.

Apple refuted France’s claims and said it will prove that its phones are safe. Apple seems to have a head start in this race; it was just about to stop manufacturing the iPhone 12 when this problem showed up. This model was rolled out in 2020, however, it seems like from Apple’s point of view millions of customers will be left holding a bag of faulty radiation.

As Apple gets ready to roll out the iPhone 15, France could be a showstopper for its millions of customers particularly in France and even worldwide. Apple has sold over 100,000,000 units of this device just within the first seven months of it being rolled out.

Now other countries within the European Union have started to take a closer look at Apple’s iPhone12 radiation levels. Keep in mind that France probably only tested the 12 for excessive radiation, but that does not mean that the rest of the phones are not emitting harmful radiation.

It would be prudent for all countries to do vigorous testing on all these computerized devices to make sure that citizens are safe. It is a well-known fact that most of these device manufacturers only care about their bottom line.

After all, warnings from many different experts over the years were either ignored or passed off as lies by the folks who stand to gain billions from frying the brains of their clients and potential clients.

The effects of radiofrequency radiation exposure include cancer risk, cellular stress, genetic damage, and an increase in free radicals. Exposure to radiofrequency radiation reportedly causes structural and functional changes to the reproductive system, neurological disorders, as well as learning and memory deficits.

A class action case against Samsung and Apple here in Canada revealed the information in the above paragraph. The Canadian cell phone users are represented by Charles O’Brien of Lorax Litigation.

The plaintiffs also state that they and many other customers would not have purchased their phones or would have used them differently, had they known that the phones could put them at risk for harmful radiation exposure.

The question remains, do cellphone companies do enough to make sure that their clients know the real risk of using these highly dangerous devices? I think you and I know the answer.

Like I said earlier, I only wish many more countries would do what France did and do it now.
