There's a reason why all cellphones, including iPhones, come with a warning insert that says not to place the phone next to your head.
Seems to be questionable
No. Bluetooth LE is an extremely low energy RF emission. Apple Watch wifi only becomes active when it loses its Bluetooth connection. Otherwise, the watch's wifi is off to save battery power. Cellular on the LTE-enabled watches works the same way -- even if left "on", it only activates if the watch loses BT and wifi (the watch's battery simply cannot power the LTE and wifi antennas all day long). There's 10-100x less RF energy emanating from the watch than there is from the phone in your pocket.
You might want to try using a source other than one from a government agency funded by big tech... just saying
Cellphones (microwave RF) are a slightly different issue insofar as oncogenesis (tumor forming). While the radiation itself is not ionizing, there is some debatable research that suggests that mild chronic tissue heating could cause long term formation of heat-shock proteins which potentially could result in tumor formation. The evidence is far from conclusive and requires durations and energy generally much higher than the average person would be exposed to.You might want to try using a source other than one from a government agency funded by big tech... just saying
Apple (and all the other cell phone manufacturers) includes that legal document with every phone they sell for a reason. If you choose to ignore it then that's fine.
While I don't doubt that the NYT ran an article that said this, the evidence to substantiate this is pretty poor. And the NYT is not exactly considered a peer-reviewed source. And to be honest, which would you rather have next to your head -- microwaves with enough power to have a range measured in 10's of miles, or lower frequency radiowaves with ranges measured in 10's of feet?
Sorry, not drinking the kool-aid today, but by all means enjoy it if you please.
And there's plenty of peer-reviewed studies that show very low correlation. So like I said, things are far from conclusive. I'm not discounting the study (studies) that I'm sure you've got links to, but there are just as many that show the opposite (and that are not funded by tech companies). But I did say it's probably more prudent to not keep your phone attached to your head continuously.
If it was properly tested by a reputable lab and hasn’t been damaged, then you are most likely fine. The US and European regulations, at least, are pretty conservative, erring on the side of caution.
Yeah. I didn't want to start a war, since this has been repeated oh so many times before.
So because you don’t want to “drink the koolaid“ offered by a government agency, you cite a report giving partial results of studies for a government agency (the NIH) on rats using different frequencies than those being discussed here?
Great, happy to hear it. Like I said, a cancer cell could care less what anyone thinks. Everyone has the right to believe anything they want. The great thing about science, though, is that it’s true whether you believe in it or not.
It was also only partly 'published' (not peer reviewed) in 2016. If you look up the follow-up, there's even less correlation. And as with almost all of these studies, the energy levels used far exceed the periodic exposure in real-world scenarios.
They all do, actually, to be perfectly fair.
Obviously some will interpret this differently since it's basically instructions to reduce RF exposure. I didn't read through every single version for each iPhone, so maybe some of the older ones had different language. And I don't know what other manufactures say specifically.
