No way I buy a further iPhone unless the screen is a yellowish monochrome STN type with resistive touch that likes to be re-calibrated each time the device is turned on!

Just look at the specs. WiFi iPads do not have GPS. Some Android tablets have both GPS and FM radio chips. No data required.
If you've ever evacuated from a fire and had no Internet, Cellular or TV, just electricity and a radio, you will get my point.
I won't buy from Apple, since they can't meet my requirements.
I’ll heartily endorse your boycott if you’ll endorse my boycott of carriages until they bring horses back.
You misunderstand the issue of cancer being treated by sunlight. OVERALL cancer (not specifically skin cancer) rates are lower in sunny climates.
Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to undelete the bold thing. The Ozone layer thingie has been debunked for decades, not sure why you are discussing stuff that was "media 'science'" back when climate change was all about the coming new ice age in the 80's. Sunlight and sunny climates have less cancer rates overall. Cancer is treated by sunlight, as were a host of many other ailments prior to the creation of antibiotics.
The "Ozone layer thingie"? Holy crap.
Between your "sunlight cures cancer", your "scholarly articles" about bluetooth radiation (because the bottom line is scientists can't agree upon the effects of EMF, any brief amount of attendance on google university will tell you that), not to mention the contradiction in terms as you rail against bluetooth radiation and relish in solar radiation, I have major difficulty figuring out how you made it this far.
Why would we do that? I always hated the horrid sound of the cables to the earbuds making horrid low frequency sounds as they got caught on anything you could name while using them.
Also, another questionable article written by a person who has background in economics and journalism, and not science (especially on that subject).LOL, here you go. How about you do your own testing and research for yourself and your loved ones? Get yourself a cheap EMF meter.
Do I Need to Worry About Radiation From WiFi and Bluetooth Devices?
Do you need to worry about radiation from devices like cell phones, WiFi, and Bluetooth? The research isn't clear, but Consumer Reports has tips for reducing your exposure.www.consumerreports.org
"... existing research hasn’t revealed the threshold below which RF signals clearly pose no threat."
I guess when you are a cancer survivor, you tend to start checking things out. The part about lowered sperm count and potential brain anomalies for adults and warnings for young children is worrying enough.
Just to be clear. I’m not against your concerns, we all have them. An article written by someone without scientific background in the field cannot be trusted because some of the information can be misunderstood by the author themselves because of lack of knowledge and then passed on to readers.
But again, this is normal nowadays. It’s easier to quote some blogger than refer to scientific literature.
Also, putting something out there and asking to prove it’s not false is plain manipulation.
FM radio is now streamed via apps. Radio Garden is brilliant! Check it out.
But wouldn't it be great if they included a thermocouple so the actual outside temperature could be measured! And if the camera was configured so it covers the infrared spectrum as well.
