As always AI falls over itself to defend Apple, but a reading of 5.4w/kg does not just “slightly exceed” the legal limit, it’s 35% higher.  Regardless of what margin there may be between the legal limit and a harmful effect, ignoring it to the tune of 35% is unacceptable.

If you go 35% faster than the speed limit, you’d best expect you’re going to be booked for it.

Assuming it isn’t just a faulty test (and that seems pretty unlikely) Apple have some explaining to do.  An iOS update now is all well and good, but this is a three year old phone which may well have been breaking the law for three years.

It sounds as if France has done the equivalent of measuring the speed of an approaching car while accelerating towards it. They have measured a completely implausible usage scenario of six minutes straight talking without drawing breath or the other person saying anything (the phone does not transmit when you're not taking) at full power. Not just that, they appear to be estimating the electromagnetic radiation from the heat generated, ignoring the fact that a phone used on full power for that time touching a dummy head will exhibit thermal radiation and conductivity as well.

Apple created the App Store on 30%, when it had zero business but it helped many developers to grow and they were happy to pay that to get exposure. I was one. I developed an app in 2010, and chose iOS and 30% over all the other ways I could get my idea to market. Now politicians are abusing their power to rewite rules and intervene in markets.

A few years ago, I reported what I considered to be a bug to Ubiquiti... that the USG was storing VPN credentials in plaintext and the Ubiquiti config dump was including them by default for support queries. In other words network credentials were being sent to Ubiquiti support staff without the knowledge or consent of customers. They didn't consider it to be serious.

From my support chat: "we have just ended up in a situation where I was asked to send a file containing unencrypted VPN credentials by open email to your support team, having been told that support files do not contain passwords. Please, please tell me that you guys recognise something has gone wrong and needs to be fixed."

Suffice to say I no longer own a USG. Luckily I never used their cloud services.
