I suppose the good thing is the phone is mostly in people’s hands now as opposed to their ear. Has phone use declined now due to texting? I know my 12 YO uses FaceTime with her friends instead of a traditional phone.

It would move the location to a better spot if mobile phones caused cancer. I haven’t see any solid data on voice usage, but from a few poor quality articles its down at least 10-25% over the last decade.
The main problem with these studies is that they are “rats in a microwave oven”, so they are subject to the same amount of RF as if you were sleeping in a pile of cellphones transmitting constantly (not recommended). They never bother exposing some of the rats to 1 cellphones worth of power.
There have been large multiple decade studies done of cellphone users that indicate cancer is not an issue (see elsewhere in this thread for a link).
