I wouldn't worry about it, odds are there are several hundred other substances you're regularly in contact with which are giving you cancer a whole lot faster than your iPhone.

your iphone is secretly spying on you and uploading all of your suspicious behavior to Big Brother & The Holding Co.

IF you radiate your brain via iPhone while doing deadlifts would you not be doing radioactive deadlifts? That sounds like a sure path to superhero-dom if I ever heard one!

YES - and I am not being facetious. We develop a lot of wireless products and follow this closely.

Is it dangerous? That is another story. You can find equal numbers of studies on both sides of the issue. The latest study says NO.

Think of all the other radiation bombarding you at every waking moment, be it from computer monitors, or cell towers, to electrical powerlines, to radiostation and t.v. broadcast, every cellphone conversation / text floating through the air around you, etc. etc. Solar / cosmic radiation and emitting from Earth itself. Radiation from the concrete in the building you work in. Sure you're focussing some at yer head with the device, but you're already doomed.

Yes, and it's making you hit 0 instead of o, and - instead of shift.
