So the people who got brain tumors from having phones to their ear, the women who got breast cancers from phones in bras, what would cause that then? I understand LF / ELF are harmless but as you go up in frequency things get "hot"
Power levels factor heavily into RF exposure. The average cell phone emits about 300 milliwatts. An FM broadcast antenna has an effective radiated power in the large fraction of a megawatt. This, of course, includes antenna gain. A cell phone antenna is more like a dummy load than a gain antenna.
Well, earbuds are powerful enough to transmit a few yards whereas phones transmit several miles. As signal strength decreases according as an X-squared law (for distance), that makes phone transmissions a million times stronger than earbuds.
I personally keep my phone in a knee pocket. I've done this for decades. If I get knee cancer, I'll let you know.
True. I still don’t like the idea of anything wireless in my head. RF/EMI fields can still cause issues. Like cancer clusters of people living under high tension lines.

True, but would the proximity to your brain not factor in?
