    Iphones actually have a higher sar rating than a lot of other cell phones. I don't know about under the pillow, especially, after you grow up, you'll have better places to put your phone... The increased risk comes from long term, as in years, use with it up to the side of your face. It is suggested that, when making a call, you hold the phone away from your ear until the person answers their end. I had brain cancer that 100% fits the cell phone risk factor criteria, perfectly. Read this long term study signed with 15 different countries...

    It wont give you cancer but it will increase the chances of you getting cancer, or a tumor. The radiation heats up your brain tissue. Check out this website, ive been getting headaches and someone suggested that it was because im on my cell phone 24/7. This product is clinically proven, and theres been testing and all the facts are there.

    If it was on 1g 2g 3g or 4g then your chances are increased, but i doubt it just put it in a table far from you, oh and bty its the same as having it in your pocket, but in under the pillow is a diffrent thing, the closer to you face the bigger the risk, but i think its only for a few list of cancers

    i wouldn't say that sleeping with it would cause cancer but it deff can have very harmful effects on the body. My sister and i were talking and her doctor said that the cell phones heat up the body tissue and sometimes can cause tumors or something (and head aches) and tumors can be cancerous.

    goodluck!

    No.

    That stuff about radiowaves from your phone giving you cancer is BS.

    I honestly don't see how anyone believes that.

    Phones don't cause Cancer... Cancer is a disease in your body, phones are never inside your body. Unless you eat your phone, but I don't know if that would cause Cancer either. Just don't worry about it, your phone wont give you Cancer.
