(65,318 posts)It's not like these things became ubiquitous yesterday. The iPhone is nearly 12 years old and the Android competitors around 10 by now.
The other thing i wonder is that since so many people are using them at "long range" (speaker not up to their ear) would that affect any of that earlier data?
Since i'm not one addicted to the phone, i don't have many personal concerns, but with the constant usage i'd think we'd be seeing some sort of data trend by now.

The present results must be interpreted with caution and further studies are required to fully elucidate this topic.
