Pretty sure that factory workers aren't on Apple's payroll, so it'd be more accurate to say that Apple pays them $0.00/day.

So what is the proper term if you think you're so smart?
15. a day? 15.00 a day?
C'mon, I'd love to hear your answer.

Nowhere does it say Apple pays them.
15 cents a day or .15 dollars a day.

Is that real? I can't believe it's real, it would be the greatest typo of the last thousand years.
We'll have to see what "solution" Apple has in mind. However, I have seen some smartphones already for a while where every single chip was capped with an EMI shield. Indeed, pretty much every Lumia smartphone has had every single chip capped with an EMI shield since they began making smartphones. E.g., https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nokia+Lumia+1520+Teardown/23924 . Compare with Apple, which caps only some of the chips with EMI shields on the iPhone.
If this means that Apple will just be using more caps, good for them, but it's not exactly innovation. If Apple comes up with some novel way of shielding which is better or cheaper than traditionally soldered shields, then that would be cool and we can see how innovative it is after the tests. This rumor doesn't suggest the latter is more likely than the former though.
It's a distraction to the fact that the Galaxy S7 is announced in five days ....
If you bothered to read the article, you'd find out what they're doing.
They're sputtering metal on top of chips. They can electrically shield the chip without having to package the device with a metal lid or shield.

This is fake.
look here:
http://www.channel24.co.za/Gossip/News/Samsungs-naughty-penis-billboard-is-a-fake-20131127
but nevertheless: in a certain sense, the fake contains a statement that might not be so false….
because some men are "thinking" more with their b*lls or "special Pencil" than with their brain….

They got their payroll system from Verizon.
Nope. Lower EMI, better for FCC screening.
Probably finding that higher frequency parts are requiring more shielding to get pass FCC
The righteous indignation in this retort is made more humorous because of the righteous indignation in this retort. It's like an ouroboros of tee hee.
This. Which has nothing to do with ...
Note that when phone engineers talk about "radiation", they're not taking about nuclear radiation. They mean like radio waves from an antenna, or sound waves radiating from a speaker, or heat waves radiating from an electric heater, or light radiating from a bulb. I.e. it simply means "to spread", same as with "she radiates happiness".
Anyway, individual chips aren't the reason it's suggested to keep an iPhone from touching your head.
It's because of the high SAR from the top cellular antenna. The SAR (Specific Absorption Ratio) is a measure of the amount of electromagnetic waves your cells absorb from a device at various locations.
One problem with a higher SAR is that it could cause nearby brain cells to heat up, with health results that are still in debate. Fortunately, an adult skull is pretty good at blocking RF waves. The weak points are its openings for our ears and jaw.

That's a good point as well. Could indicate a return to a body not dominated by metal.
Funny how you couldn't be bothered to actually read before sputtering this. Do it next time.
Why do some MR members feel the need to respond with these passive-aggressive and totally nonconstructive responses?
I did read the article. I read it, I thought about it critically (something obviously a few others here did not do), I compared it with my experience, and realized the article doesn't actually say anything substantive.
The article says only the following on the topic:
Setting aside the poor grammar (maybe a machine translation from Chinese?), this paragraph also doesn't describe how Apple will do it. It makes a generic description about one type of EMI shielding, and asserting that it will be better in various ways without actually giving a single reason. Otherwise it's a pretty empty paragraph. Answer this question: after reading this article, do you know more facts than you did prior to reading it? The answer is mostly no. I'll admit I did not know Apple used this sputtering method on the S1 SoC - so I guess that was new to me...
True this.

So can we now state this is the first move intend to reduce SAR exposure to the head and body regarding to upcoming scientific consensus and (as result) Governmental precautionary measures that reduce radiation exposure?
