I have an iPhone 12 and have had cancer that's typically caused by radiation. Should I be worried?


Radio (Electromagnetic radiation) is what’s used to communicate over Wi-Fi and your FM radio.

High frequency light such as UV radiation is what causes cancer.

The concern by the French is over the radio.


I don't have an answer for you, but it will be a hard one in general to get answered as cell phone radiation dangers is one of those highly controversial subjects that have been riddled with pseudoscience and quacks. Best of luck though, sincerely.

Honey, never underestimate the impact of your well intentioned advice.

I am always amused and annoyed when ChatGPT gives me amazing medical, psychological and legal advice (that I simply can't afford myself, just a factory worker), and ends it with 'but contact a real doctor/shrink for real advice'. Advice which is just an echo of wise words spoken by people like you, for which I'm always grateful.


Someone has to refer them to a professional, and certainly it’s unlikely anyone else will. I looked and there’s already a nice selection of replies as predicted, so I’m still comfortable with my contribution here.

> Honey,

Is this an autocorrect typo for something relevant in this context? I wasn’t sure how to interpret it, so apologies if I’ve disregarded something important in my reply.
