France's claim:
> First there is a "membre" - or limb - check, for when a phone is in close contact with a person's body, such as when it is held or placed in a trouser pocket.
> The SAR limit for this is four watts per kilogram.
4 W/kg
> The regulator said the device's "membre" SAR was 5.74 watts per kilogram - higher than the limit.

Thoughts on this threshold?
- ashleyn 3y agoLooks like you get way more of a SAR rating in your head from a typical MRI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_absorption_rate#MRI_scanner_SAR_testing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_absorption_rate#MRI_s... Of course it should be mentioned that you're not usually in an MRI machine multiple times a day.
