Apple.com exceeding SAR limits with products for sale in the United States
Based on the 1.6 W/kg SAR limit placed on devices in the United States, a large number of devices being sold on Apple.com are out of FCC compliance to be sold in the United States.
Should the U.S. lower it's standard to the EU, Japan and Australia so Apple isn't required to meet FCC requirements?
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 GPS + Cellular has a 4.0W/kg output (Twice the SAR limit that this in the EU, Japan and Australia) Vision Pro and iPhone 15 Pro also exceed the limit for sale in the U.S.
Search for your product on Apple.com to see if it meets FCC’s 1.6W/kg health compliance standard. You will find many do not.

We should probably avoid hiring @fakepeople who worship @humanextinction to write hardware code for @ourdevices.
