Cracked screen dangerous

I was using an iPhone with the screen cracked in several places (it was still functional). I got to thinking, could using an iPhone with a cracked screen expose you to more radiation than using a phone with an intact screen? Not sure how cell phones and radiation work...thanks!

Oh you have much to learn grasshopper, your phone is not powered by a plutonium thermopile.

For reference:

Mobile phones don't emit ionizing radiation (the dangerous kind) a neodymium magnet or your florescent light have a stronger frequency than your phone.

The cellular antenna is on the back of the phone, not the front.

The screen does not emit harmful radiation (nor does the rest of the phone)


In a nutshell, the only danger from a cracked screen is slicing your finger on a shard of glass.
