    Electromagnetic radiation, as in visible light, radio signals or as this Iphone has a fucking RMBK melting its core inside?

    Someone has a link to those test they performed to claim this?

    I call it bullshit

      Microwaves. It’s microwaves.

      Phones are slightly above FM radio and slightly below microwaves in terms of wavelength.

      They’re a non-ionizing radiation emitter.

      The radiation emitted by phones ain’t gonna hurt ya.

        That’s right! However, remember that bananas have potassium-40 in it, which is radioactive. Not much, though. So be very very mildly careful around bananaphones! /old joke

        How is it 2023, when everybody uses microwave radios for communication constantly, and there are still people that don’t understand the absolute basics, like the difference between radio/light radiation and ionising radiation? And how important transmit power is to how dangerous or not a radio wave is?

        They do teach this stuff in schools still, right?

        It boggles my mind. It’s not some complex difficult topic, it’s like not knowing how electricity works, or how your body works. This is basic child level knowledge that everybody interacts with every single day, so it behoves them to understand it at least at an introductory level.

        Can’t you read? The article says the EU has a limit of 4 watts per kilogram and the device produces more than that. Scientists agreed on that limit.

    The agency said the iPhone 12 met the threshold when radiation levels were assessed for a phone kept in a jacket or in a bag.

        Hey, don’t kink shame. Some people like pressing their heads against french nuclear reactors.

          Finally someone I can come out to.

          I’m a reactor licker, and proud of it.

          The taste is so energetic!

        Only in a jacket or bag. I love my new pocket nuclear reactor. It’s the smallest nuclear reactor ever, and I think you’re going to love it
