When in the kitchen, the best plug for keeping my devices charges is right near the microwave.
Is it OK to park a plugged in iPhone or iPad right under a working microwave?
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2.1
You stated; "Life is so complicated these days - what with technologies introduced into our daily lives with the minimal amount of testing to measure their impact on out health, not to mention our social norms."
What makes you believe that the testing of microwaves is as you say "minimal"?
I would really like to see some reference to backup this assertion.
Have worked for many years with microwave equipment, I found the exact opposite to be true with everything I was involved with during those years.

If your microwave were leaking microwave radiation, it would be far more dangerous to you and should be disposed of. If you have reason to believe it's malfunctioning , get it repaired or replaced.
A properly functioning microwave is harmless (other than some possibility of interference on WiFi networks).

I'm not sure why you think that the testing is "minimal". If the idea of using your phone or tablet near a microwave frightens you, don't do it. Not to be rude, but I don't particularly care.
Scientific method means you have to have a sensible theory to test first.
See what Apple has to say. See the section on Safety and Handling.
Meg, I loved your reply and that of Dan, as well. But do you know what you write to be a fact? If you know of tests done of iDevices exposed to microwave radiation - even that small amount that leaks out of any microwave device - then I'd like to hear the source of your assertion, just to be sure. You can't blame me, can you?

I think it's a good idea to try and remember to allow for a scientific approach to "proving" things by testing and close observation whenever possible.
Though in this case, to be sure, I guess what I was looking for is any obvious warning that you should not place iDevices, whether charging or not, very close (under) microwave ovens because it has already been shown to harm them. Come to think of it, ion that was the case I'm sure we all would have heard about it already by now.

If you are paranoid then don't do it. If you zap your iPhone inside of the microwave, of course it is going to ruin your phone, because it is getting a direct dosage of MV and then there is the temperature factor and the fact the MW don't "react" positively to all metals. You don't need to be a nuclear scientist to figure that one out.
You have already gotten the best answer you are going to get here.
Nope but I hear if you put it in the microwave it instantly charges the battery :P... lol jk seriously don't put your phone in the microwave.
its fine unless its inside the microwave 😉
Yes, it's true. I have already gotten the best answer I'm are going to get here. Thank you all.
Should I keep my iPhone and iPad away from the microwave?
