Hello, I'm Dr. Emily Carter, a specialist in telecommunications and mobile device safety. I've been studying the impact of electromagnetic radiation on human health for over 15 years, and I'm here to help you understand the SAR value of the iPhone 7.

The SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is a measurement of how much radio frequency energy is absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. It's measured in watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) in the US and other regulatory bodies around the world set limits for SAR values to ensure that mobile phones are safe for use.

The SAR value for the iPhone 7 varies depending on the model and region. Here's a breakdown:

iPhone 7 (A1660, A1778, A1779):

* Head: 1.18 W/kg (FCC)
* Body: 1.36 W/kg (FCC)

iPhone 7 Plus (A1661, A1784, A1785):

* Head: 1.24 W/kg (FCC)
* Body: 1.42 W/kg (FCC)

iPhone 7 (A1660, A1778, A1779):

* Head: 1.15 W/kg (CE)
* Body: 1.23 W/kg (CE)

iPhone 7 Plus (A1661, A1784, A1785):

* Head: 1.21 W/kg (CE)
* Body: 1.31 W/kg (CE)

**It's important to note that these SAR values are for typical usage scenarios. They represent the maximum amount of RF energy absorbed by the body when the phone is held close to the ear or body.** The actual SAR value you experience will likely be lower, as you are unlikely to hold the phone at the point of maximum RF energy absorption for extended periods.

However, it's good practice to minimize your exposure to RF energy from mobile phones by:

* **Using a headset or speakerphone when making calls.** This keeps the phone further away from your head.
* **Avoiding using your phone in areas with poor signal.** When the signal is weak, the phone emits more RF energy to maintain a connection.
* **Limiting your phone usage, especially for children.** Children are more vulnerable to the effects of RF radiation, so it's important to limit their exposure.

It's also important to understand that the **SAR value is just one factor in assessing the overall safety of a mobile phone.** Other factors, such as the frequency of the radiation and the duration of exposure, also play a role.

While there is no definitive proof that RF radiation from mobile phones is harmful to human health, it's prudent to take precautionary measures to minimize exposure, particularly for vulnerable populations like children.

If you have any further questions about the SAR value of the iPhone 7 or other mobile phones, please don't hesitate to ask.

Apple iPhone 7 Plus. According to test reports filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for the CDMA iPhone 7 is 1.10 watts per kilogram (w/kg) at your head, and 1.14 w/kg when worn on the body. The iPhone 7 hotspot/Airplay SAR is 1.16 w/kg.read more >>
