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.
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.

RF Safe
Jan 14, 2026
This RF Safe commentary frames readers as part of a “resistance” movement seeking changes to U.S. wireless policy and RF exposure governance. It argues that current FCC RF exposure rules and related laws constrain local decision-making and rely on a “thermal-only” safety framework that the author says is outdated.…
