How dangerous is radiation from your iPhone?

France recently banned the sale of the iPhone 12 due to radiation exposure concerns. But don’t throw out your phone just yet. Apple said it will update the software to reduce the amount of radiation the phone pushes out.

But how does radiation from cell phones actually affect us — and should we be worried?

Nobody ever mentions how much exposure one has while streaming. There's only ever talk about limiting your call duration and keeping the phone away from your head. But what about the hours and hours of streaming holding your phone in your hand? Anybody has some insight?

WHO says all vaccines are safe and effective.

So whatever they say is safe.

probably not as dangerous as the radiation from your granite kitchen worktops. Non ionising radiation from cell phones is harmless.

Why does CBC censor comments on videos covering serious issues in Canada, but allow comments on pointless videos like this? Whatever happened to your free speech, Liberals?

Do we believe them? Do we trust that what they are telling us is the complete and total truth?

It is actually the iphone 12 through the iphone 15 that all have the head SAR rating as either .95 to .98. All other phones by other manufacturers only range from .17 to .47.
