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.
iPhone 16 vs 16e vs 16 Plus vs 16 Pro Max: which 2024–2025 iPhone actually fits your life?

Phone Comparisons
Four iPhones, one iOS experience—very different daily trade-offs. The 16e is the budget A18 entry with real compromises (single camera, basic Qi charging). The 16 and 16 Plus are the balanced picks with MagSafe/Qi2 and an ultrawide camera. The 16 Pro Max is the creator’s choice with 120Hz, 5x zoom, and faster USB-C.

Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup looks unified from the software side, but the hardware splits into clear personalities: the base iPhone 17 is the balanced pick, the 17 Pro models are the real upgrade for zoom and serious video workflows, the Pro Max is the big-screen “do everything” option, and the 17 Air is the thin,…
Samsung Galaxy S26 vs S26+ vs S26 Ultra (2026): which one actually fits your daily use?

Phone Comparisons
All three Galaxy S26 models feel like “real” flagships on software and longevity. Your decision comes down to what you’ll notice every day: pocketability (S26), a sharper big-screen sweet spot with faster charging (S26+), or the Ultra’s camera reach and stylus—at a clear cost in size, weight, and money.

FDA Removes “Safety Conclusion” Cellphone Radiation Pages as HHS Announces a New Study—Why the “NTP Was Too High Dose” Talking Point Fails
Independent Voices
RF Safe
Jan 17, 2026
This RF Safe commentary argues that dismissing the National Toxicology Program (NTP) cellphone-radiation animal findings as “too high dose” is misleading because the NTP used multiple exposure tiers, including a lowest tier described as near regulatory relevance. It also claims FDA has removed webpages containing…
