Wifi radiation
If my phone is in low power mode in my pocket, with the wifi on, with a 2mm bumper case will it be safe to use? From what I read a few years ago, iPhones need 3mm distance from the skin to pass the radiation test.

I only read one of those documents but it said it met standards even if held against your head.
If you feel uncomfortable about it being that close you can use a hands-free option such as a headset with microphone, or in speakerphone mode.
Hi Limnos,
I always hold my phone on the tip of my ear when making phone calls. It’s the rest of the day that concerns me - walking around with the wifi constantly searching for connections causes more radiation. Any chance you know how that compares with the testing? I wish there was a way to turn on wifi automatically only at home and work/stop it turning on whenever I move.
Health effects of Wi-Fi
There are no health risks from exposure to radiofrequency EMF from Wi-Fi devices in your home, in schools or other areas accessible to the public.
I have treated patients with cancer for over thirty years as a board-certified radiation oncologist and I am familiar with every carcinogenic agent known to man. I'll tell you with absolute certainty that radio waves cannot harm you (unless perhaps you were in the path of a multi-megawatt microwave beam, in which case they might cook you. But as far as I know, there is no likelihood that this danger even exists).
Thanks Limnos. Does this mean that my iPhone 11 passed the radiation test when positioned more than 5mm from the body? That’s not safe enough in my opinion. It’s in my pocket a lot of the time.
