iPhone with low SAR value (or Samsung)?

[macstatic]

IOS being a lot more appealing than Android I'm looking into getting an iPhone but am concerned about the rather high SAR values they are all reported to have. Apparently Samsung phones have the lowest SAR emissions, but.... they run Android of course.

But it's very hard to find any balanced info on this -either you hear that it's no problem at all from the typical fanboy or you're about to get cancer just from looking at an iPhone (your typical conspiracy theorist). So what are the facts. and which currently sold iPhone has the lowest SAR value?

I'm pretty sure, Samsung phones have lower SAR values, because they are measured at a greater distance.

This is Apple’s statement for iPhone 12.

And all their other phones:

Thanks for your replies.
One of the sites I'm referring to concerning high SAR values is this article which claims that independant tests prove SAR values 3x of what Apple says and 2x of federal limits.
It's hard to know if this is true or not.

Oh, another thing.... the iPhone 11 runs IOS 14, so I'm wondering if it will work together with iTunes 12.8 (MacOS 10.13 High Sierra) as that's what my Mac is running (and for various reasons won't upgrade for the time being) for syncing the calendar, contacts etc?

The Mac and iPhone need to keep their software pretty current to work together. High Sierra and the version of iTunes that runs on it don’t know what iOS 14 is.

That makes sense, but just before reading your reply I came across this thread where it states that iTunes 12.8.3 (which is what's on my Mac with MacOS 10.13.6) does work with IOS 14. Apparently, when connecting the IOS 14 device to the Mac you're asked to confirm installing a software-patch which makes that iTunes version compatible. I believe this is what I experienced when attaching my IOS 12 or IOS 13 (I forget) iPad to my Mac.

So the bottom line (if the above is correct) is that yes -I can use iTunes 12.8.3/MacOS 10.13.6 with an iOS device such as this iPhone 11 Can anyone confirm if this is correct?

As for the SAR value: I came across this article which said that the iPhone 11 SAR testing which revealed those much higher values than Apple states was being made by a company who sells phone radiation-protection gear.
