Apple to Curb iPhone 12 Radiation With EU-Wide Software Update

Maybe if a toaster runs 24 hours a day next to your body.

Too bad a toaster doesn’t have a sensor to detect if it’s next to your body and adjust the amount of radiation it gives off accordingly.

It’s non-ionizing radiation anyway. The iPhone 12 is completely safe.

iPhone 12 models represent 8.4% of iPhones in use. https://telemetrydeck.com/survey/apple/iPhone/models/

Huh, that's quite a lot, wow. I stand corrected then!

Phones do not emit ionizing radiation (the bad radiation). Your toaster, pet, car, and light bulbs emit radiation. An FM radio station will put out 100,000 watts.

Don't forget microwave ovens. Funny story, years ago when my cat was dying of cancer I was microwaving his wetfood, and my sister-in-law said "oh you shouldn't do that, it's not healthy." "why's that?" I asked. "Because radiation causes free radicals, causes canc---". Once she realized that I wasn't worried about my poor cancer ridden getting cancer, she felt suffiently stupid so I didn't feel like lecturing her about how microwaves are non-ionizing and can not cause free radicals... but I should have.
