iPhone 15/Plus iPhone15 Preorders from iPhone 12 Radiation story

I’d really be interest to know how much of the preorder madness was due to the news breaking about iPhone 12 being banned in France due to higher than allowable levels of radiation. I know it made my parents call me this weekend and upgrade their phones to the 15.

I have an iPhone 12 and do both my parents. None of us are upgrading. I would guess it's only an issue if you spend all day with a phone against your ear. Moderate users probably okay.

I was more alluding to the mental market manipulation of something like that coming out days before the new phone comes out. My parents saw it on Facebook and called me worried about it. Luckily with the Verizon trade deals they can upgrade for free and out their minds at ease. I’m not really worried about the radiation.

Trusting anything on Facebook is a sure way to get worried, often needlessly. Having said that, if you can upgrade for free then why not.

Is suspect very few people who weren’t interested enough to sit at their computer trying to preorder a phone at 5/6/7/8am before the radiation story were suddenly interested enough to do so after the radiation story, if they even saw it
