Not placed against my head. I try to use speakerphone or headset when I talk.

There’s a reason standards have different values for head vs other parts: https://www.apple.com/legal/rfexposure/iphone13,3/en/

Also read the manual. For iphone 4 apple stated at least 15mm separation between the iphone and the head (5mm? nowdays). How many people just push it against the ear instead?

Fair enough, admittedly I’m not educated enough around RF to be able to tell how exactly frequency / distance / power can effect the human body.

> I’ve always searched for studies about impact of the ultra high frequencies (GHz i.e. billions as in bluetooth) on the brain and, more importantly, on the thyroid gland. If you do have any, would you mind linking any of these studies. Not trying to start a fight or nitpick them, I’m genuinely curious.

Unfortunately, like I said, all that I’ve found was about cancer, not metabolism or different cognitive functions, so:

> Really would like to see studies about possible impact on that. Until then, just to be safe, I try not use any bluetooth headphones or use them wired (most have that option).
