I'm worried. Ragarding iPhone 4s radiation

[Mac.World]

I'm sorry but your argument was that mobile phones are not bad for your health and enough research has been done. From reading what you've posted:

I'm not someone who thinks: "Wow, a lot of text. He must be right."

Your studies actually show I'm quite right and that long-term effects are unknown. It also shows that some studies actually do believe that there are health risks involved - and these are all studies based on the short-term. When we are looking at the long-term health risks, than we're looking a few decades ahead; not a few years.

I'm standing with my original conclusion: long-term effects are unknown so more research is needed to find out if there are any health risks involved.

point is, There is nothing to substantiate any claims that cell phone use is bad and will kill you. Nothing. The best you can say is more time is needed to study and get results. But this will always be your answer. You are more likely to die in a car or plane crash, get cancer from 2nd hand smoke or win the lottery before you can conclusively say cell phones are bad. If doctors and scientists had their way, you wouldn't be able to do anything, because everything would be considered a "potential" health risk.

BTW, I posted everything, I didn't cherry pick as you did. The vast majority of studies are saying cell phones are fine. I'll go back through my post and underline and highlight the other studies that make up 95% of that post.

See the Environmental Working Group Updated Cell Phone Use User's Guide. The federal regulations governing SAR limits are 16 years old. Smart phone use is now much different than use by people -6 years ago. If you are dying of cancer who cares about car crashes or other known risks? Text rather than talk, use the speaker phone function. Take care.

There's not enough radiation to damage you in any way. Yes, it's there, but it won't ever harm you. If it makes you feel any better, there are people that live right above uranium mines and they are just fine.

I will guess that your other phones were cdma and your new one is gsm? Electromagnetic interference is higher on gsm phones, if I recall correctly.

It's more a matter of frequency from what I've seen with my office phone's speaker. Our 1900MHz GSM devices cause almost no interference while our 850MHz GSM devices cause more interference and at greater distances.

My Verizon 5s (700Mhz) causes interference where my 4s never did.

The idea that one has to prove that cell phones are safe is a fallacy. Has anyone proven that holding a banana to your head is safe? We know it's safe because common sense and basic medical and scientific knowledge says so and because there are decades of experience with the product. The only reason it is a topic of discussion is because of trial lawyers/tinfoil hat crowd.

I was reading about how the 4S has high sar rating and I as wondering if...

Is it bad to use safari and play games a lot because the radiation will be exposed to your face?

Is it bad to carry the 4S in your pocket?

Thanks in advance

If you are concern, there are radiation badges you can purchase cheaply that measures your monthly radiation exposure. Go to a pharmacy and purchase one.
