    It’s beyond strange they would test for EM radiation being absorbed by the body. Iphones shouldn’t be radiating anything ionizing (UV or stronger) and it’s absurd to get mad about a very bright flashlight or to measure heat (IR) using these terms, so what could they possibly be worried about?

      Interference with other eletronics. Dirty EM sources make other wireless eletronics unreliable. Maybe the spokesperson got the message wrong?

        Government administrators/politicians and failing to understand technical nuance: name a more iconic duo.

          You just made me remember the “Ghost Gun” video. Wanna bet that Ghost Gun was an internal term for a niche group one of that guy’s aides interviewed and the aide wasn’t really paying attention?
