      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?
