Parents for Safe Schools: Here is a list of the Specific Absorption Rate of all the currently available iPads, including Cellular+WiFi and WiFi-only models.

Sunday, 26 January 2014

This compilation is to show that the Specific Absorption Rate, SAR of iPads in 3G/Celluar mode and in WiFi mode are similar, as some people have incorrectly suggested that the emission from WiFi-only iPads is lower. As a matter of fact, we have found that in real-life measurement, the signals sent from a WiFi-enabled iPad was more continual than when it's on 3G transmission, since (when on WiFi) it blasts every few seconds, constantly trying to search for or maintain connection with the WiFi router. The peak radiation level of the WiFi-iPad is also many times higher than an iPhone on talking transmission.

Since iPad 2, the WiFi antenna of the iPad is no longer "located behind the Apple logo".
