The guy claims the regulatory label tells you not to use it closer than 5mm from your body. Reading the "Radio frequency exposure" notice on my phone, it says > In the countries where the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limit is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue, the highest SAR values for this device type are 1.19 W/kg for Pixel 6a (GB62Z) or 1.18 W/kg for Pixel 6a (GX7AS) W/kg when used against head with no separation and 1.19 W/kg for Pixel 6a (GB62Z) or 1.19 W/kg for Pixel 6a (GX7AS) W/kg against body with 1.0 cm (0.4 in) separation. In the countries where the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limit is 2.0 W/kg averaged over ten grams of tissue, the highest SAR values for this device type are 0.99 W/kg when used against head with no separation and 1.31 W/kg against body with 5 mm (0.2 in) separation. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/11542583?hl=en https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/11542583?hl=en For an iPhone, it has this: > During testing, iPhone radios are set to their highest transmission levels and SAR is evaluated in real time, over time intervals as specified by applicable regulations. iPhone is evaluated in positions that simulate uses against the head, with no separation, and when worn or carried against the torso of the body, with 5mm separation. https://regulatoryinfo.apple.com/rfexposure/iPhone15,4/en https://regulatoryinfo.apple.com/rfexposure/iPhone15,4/en So no, it doesn't say you're supposed to use it at least 5mm away from your body. It says its designed to meet SAR exposure values with no separation. But hey I wouldn't expect a person like this to actually be honest.
