Cripes, couldn't they at least let the ambulance turn on the flashers before setting up litigation?

Really? There have been several done showing they effect male fertility. You have the world of scientific studies at your fingertips - just Google any of the well-controlled studies available.
Here is one from way back in 2014 (just one of many, also studied in females):
The authors concluded that the use of cell phones by men is associated with a decrease in their semen quality. According to the researchers' data the decrease in sperm count, motility, viability, and normal morphology was related to the duration of exposure to cell phones.

A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports found a strong link between higher levels of exposure to a type of radiation called magnetic field non-ionizing radiation and higher risk of miscarriage in a group of nearly 1,000 women living in the Bay Area of California.
Specifically, the researchers, from Kaiser Permanente in Northern California, found that a woman’s miscarriage risk rose from 10 percent to 24 percent as she was exposed to higher levels of magnetic field non-ionizing radiation.
Idk, I mean, radiating your balls all day is probably not great. DNA is very sensitive.

Thanks for backing me up!
Doubly when they are politicians which literally describes 90% of our politicians. Greedy lawyers gone public.
Well, the SAR ratings are there for a reason. Ask the FCC and they'll tell you anything above 1.6 is dangerous. So why people here will defend Apple on this beats me. They effed up, now they'd better own it.
yes this is true, nothing we were building had any intentional antennas, so we had a lot of wiggle room. but we'd be in there with the copper tape and trying to seal stuff up, though in the end we had to test as shipped.
i wonder if when testing a handset, you're allowed to put it in some kind of a "hand" which might absorb radiation. also there's the whole question of max transmitter power vs typical. i've never seen the FCC rules for a handset; given the original article's units (watts/kg) it seems like this is more than just measuring the received power spectrum at some distance, but there is also some kind of absorption component to this.
it's a little scary when they close the door to the chamber on you... the ultimate padded cell
lol'd at the chernobyl comment. i can only imagine what she'd say if someone turned her attention to the 5g conspiracy theory.
My dad manages an anechoic chamber for the UK division of Leonardo. I think I'd need military clearance to get in there based on some of his work, but the photos he showed me were rad.
Remember, it's 95% of lawyers that give the other 5% a bad name...
“This could be the Chernobyl of the cell phone industry”
So some lawyer just watched the Chernobyl HBO series and wants to now equate a disaster that impacted millions, displaced an entire city, and directly/indirectly killed thousands? Seems a bit insensitive.
Sounds like a group of scummy lawyers.

Though I think the tests were done wrong, it’s worth noting that regulatory thresholds aren’t the cutoff between safe and deadly.
But think of all the finger tumors!!
I'm surprised apple is waiting to be in court to explain what specifically was done incorrectly in the. testing
Have you ever heard of a Microwave leak detector? A dirty door will not seal properly and let radiation out. Years ago, this was alarming, people would panic all over. But now this is old news, nobody cares anymore.
Regarding the 400W Amp in the car, people are concerned about 2 Watts of radiation affecting their health, when they blast their stereos in their cars with their windows closed, thinking that's not going to cause them any harm.

"Cell phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF). Over the past 15 years, scientists have conducted hundreds of studies looking at the biological effects of the radio frequency energy emitted by cell phones. While some researchers have reported biological changes associated with RF energy, these studies have failed to be replicated. The majority of studies published have failed to show an association between exposure to radio frequency from a cell phone and health problems."

You know I used to be the same way until some idiot decided to rear-end me on I-5 up in Washington state. Then I was grateful for being able to get a lawyer.
