Calls to Ban Sales of iPhone 12 That Failed Safety Test
Thirty organizations on Tuesday joined the France-based Phonegate Alert to demand that French and European authorities permanently withdraw Apple’s iPhone 12 from all European markets
The demand came after France lifted a temporary sales ban on the phone. The ban was first imposed when Apple’s iPhone 12 failed radiation safety test.
The organizations also threatened legal action against Apple if the company does not compensate current iPhone 12 owners for subjecting them to illegally high levels of radiofrequency (RF) radiation.
Phonegate and its fellow signatories, including the European Cancer and Environmental Research Institute and the California Brain Tumor Association, in an Oct. 3 press release alleged that Apple for over three years has “knowingly deceived” owners of the iPhone 12 (model A2403) regarding the “true levels” of RF radiation exposure and the “possible health risks incurred” when the device is in close contact with the body.
The roughly 90 million European users of the iPhone 12 are considering a class action lawsuit against Apple, according to Phonegate and its fellow signatories.
Dr. Marc Arazi, Phonegate’s founder and president, said in the press release:
“This will also be an opportunity to take action against the manufacturers of the 42 other mobile phone models … that have been implicated since 2018, including Samsung, Nokia, Xiaomi, Huawei, Motorola, Sony, Orange, etc.”
The iPhone 12 is one of 43 cellphone models that have either been withdrawn from the French market for posing health risks to users or had their Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) updated by software to reduce the amount of RF radiation emitted by the phone.
SAR is a measure of the rate of radiofrequency energy absorbed by the body from an electronic device.
Commenting on the possibility of a class action lawsuit brought by iPhone 12 users, Arazi told The Defender:
“Now we can prove it legally: The regulations governing mobile telephony were not put in place to protect human health, but first and foremost to enable manufacturers … to deliver the most efficient commercial service.
There’s no doubt that manufacturers will have to answer for this worldwide deception and scandal, which has a name: Phonegate.”
Arazi is the author of “Phonegate: Overexposed and deceived — What the cell phone industry doesn’t want you to know,” published in May 2022.
He pointed out that cellphone users in the U.S. and Canada have already brought class action suits against Apple and Samsung for exceeding RF radiation safety limits.

The only purpose of smart phones are to create an illusion of freedom while you are really kept in digital prison. Your entire life is captured by the spying capabilities of these things. You get radiation poisoning and they want to compensate you? What a spectacular trade off.
