iPhone 6 vs Other Smartphones – SAR Value Comparison
Now it time to check the latest iPhones versus their
main competitors:
After
analyzing the above data, we can conclude that Apple don’t have a goal in
producing low radio frequency exposing cell phones. Although all smartphones on
the market have to comply with regulations, it’s obvious that some devices
discharge more radio radiation as the others.
Apple Watch vs iPhone RF Exposure Values
Now here is how the
smartwatch compares to its iOS companions
Conclusions
1.
42 MM vs 38 MM
Tests
reveal that all Apple Watch models find themselves comfortably within the safe
range of the Specific Absorption Rate limits! The 38 mm models have higher
values when your head is exposed. That’s explainable because same radio
emitting hardware has to fit a smaller case, thus rising radiation levels.
However, the 42 mm scored bigger ratings for the Wrist test.
2. Apple Watch v iPhone
The
smartwatch emits a considerable lower amount of radio frequency radiation
compared to the iOS device. To be more precise, between 7.45 times (iPhone 6
lowest Head value vs Apple Watch 38 mm highest Head SAR rating) and 38.75 times
less (iPhone 6 highest Body RF score vs Apple Watch 38 mm lowest Wrist SAR
result).
How is RF Exposure Measured?
The
Specific Absorption Rate or better known as SAR indicates the amount of energy
soaked up by the human body during its exposure to radio frequency. For cell
phone radio emitters, measurements are done, simulating the two most frequent
cases of use, showing the impact on head and body.
Which are the SAR Limits?
In
the US, the Federal Communications Community (FCC) limits radio frequency
exposure to a SAR value of 1.60 watts/kilogram averaged over 1 gram/tissue. In
other area, like Europe for example the limit is set at 2.00 wats/kilogram
averaged over 10 grams/tissue. At first sight the European regulations could
seem much harsher, however it’s important to note that averaging RF exposure at
10 grams, can flatten out hotspots and thus ‘hide’ radiation spikes.
