iirc there have been numerous studies on the subject but they have been inconclusive

No, cell phone radiation is entirely non-ionizing. Only ionizing radiation (ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma, cosmic, etc) can cause cancer.

A lightbulb has a higher chance of giving you cancer, even though you won't get cancer from a lightbulb either.

lol i used to know someone that was convinced the radiation from their phone was microwaving their brain basically.

Is the radiation from cell phones harmful?
Cell phones emit radiation in the radiofrequency region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Second-, third-, and fourth-generation cell phones (2G, 3G, 4G) emit radiofrequency in the frequency range of 0.72.7 GHz. Fifth-generation (5G) cell phones are anticipated to use the frequency spectrum up to 80 GHz.
These frequencies all fall in the nonionizing range of the spectrum, which is low frequency and low energy. The energy is too low to damage DNA. By contrast, ionizing radiation, which includes x-rays, radon, and cosmic rays, is high frequency and high energy. Energy from ionizing radiation can damage DNA. DNA damage can cause changes to genes that may increase the risk of cancer.
The NCI fact sheet Electromagnetic Fields and Cancer lists sources of radiofrequency radiation. More information about ionizing radiation can be found on the Radiation page.
The human body does absorb energy from devices that emit radiofrequency radiation. The only consistently recognized biological effect of radiofrequency radiation absorption in humans that the general public might encounter is heating to the area of the body where a cell phone is held (e.g., the ear and head). However, that heating is not sufficient to measurably increase core body temperature. There are no other clearly established dangerous health effects on the human body from radiofrequency radiation.

The indium-tin-oxide in the display is a vastly larger cancer risk than the cellular radio, and even then not very much.

Processed food isn't exist when cancer was discovered.

The batteries are not inserted in the phone during the tests.

I worked with an alarm specialist in my former company and he worked a lot with backup batteries.

He told me that the battery on the cellphone should be turned away from the hip because the magnetic field could affect the sperm.

That was those old phones that got really hot when you used them and I have no idea if it's true

In the span of a few decades, we went from nobody using cellphones to billions of people using cellphones every day.

Has there been a correlating and enormous surge in cancer rates? Doesnt seem like it.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

They are testing the phones, not the batteries.
Removing the batteries gives a better result.

Batteries aren't radioactive, and the kinds of radiation cellphones produce while transmitting (radio and microwave) are utterly incapable of causing cancer because they can't damage DNA.
