It's also a shamefully clickbait title. When the general public sees "radiation" they think ionizing radiation, and Bloomberg damn well knows it.

- jjtheblunt 3y agoclickbait titles are kind of bloomberg's schtick, i'd observe.
- relativ575 3y agoThe public know the difference? I bet many people on HN don't, let alone the general consumers. Would you rather them ignore it than doing further research? There is such as a weird bias for Apple on HN, unlike any other tech companies.
- mwint 3y agoMany people on HN are in a good position to understand just how good Apple products are, so they invest in them (both by buying products and building workflows on them, and by investing in shares). Once invested, bullshit accusations against the company harm you individually, because the company has to spend time and money proving that some dude in France set up a meter wrong. Those engineering resources could have gone into making the product better.
- runlevel1 3y agoThe title would be less misleading if they simply changed s/radiation/electromagnetic radiation/. They don't just do this with Apple. News outlets have been sensationalizing dubious research into the link between mobile phone RF exposure and a variety of maladies for decades now.
