Phone Reviews
Mar 5, 2026
The iPhone 17 Air is a design flex: a 5.64 mm ultra-thin iPhone with a gorgeous 6.6-inch Super Retina XDR OLED and A19-class speed. But RF-conscious buyers should pause—its hotspot and simultaneous SAR readings sit essentially at the FCC’s 1.6 W/kg ceiling. It’s a strong phone that demands safer-use discipline.

Negative Controls That Matter
Independent Voices
RF Safe
Jan 14, 2026
RF Safe argues that “no effect” findings in some RF exposure studies should be interpreted as meaningful negative controls rather than as evidence that RF has no biological effects. The post presents RF Safe’s “S4–Mito–Spin” framework, claiming certain skin cell types (fibroblasts and keratinocytes) are predicted to…
Why RF Safe’s S4 Mito Spin Framework Stays Out of Human Causation Debates – And Why That’s a Strength for RF/EMF Safety Advocacy

RF Safe
Jan 14, 2026
RF Safe argues that its “S4-Mito-Spin” framework should avoid human disease causation debates and instead focus on interpreting non-thermal RF/EMF findings from cellular and animal studies. The article claims the framework synthesizes mechanisms involving voltage-gated ion channels, mitochondrial/oxidative stress…
RF Safe Never Downplays Null Results
Independent Voices
RF Safe
Jan 10, 2026
RF Safe argues that “no effect” (null) findings in RF research should be treated as informative constraints rather than dismissed, within its S4–Mito–Spin mechanistic framework. The post claims biological and exposure heterogeneity can produce nonlinear, tissue- and signal-dependent outcomes, making null results an…
