I just found out I have squamous cell carcinoma in the exact same spot as other people in this forum. I know it is anecdotal, but seems to be a bit coincidental to me. Is Apple doing anything about this? A simple search found over 10 instances of what I have, in the exact same spot. It is not a rash as I thought, it is a form of skin cancer.
And there’s nothing Apple will or needs to do. Non-ionizing radiation (radio waves) has not been shown to cause any type of cancer, including holding a cellphone to your ear. It’s the same disinformation.
No, your watch is not the cause.
250 Scientists, published in professional Journals, refute Apples and assertion.
“More than 250 scientists, who have published over2,000 papers and letters in professional journals on the biologic and health effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields produced by wireless devices, including cellphones, have signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal, which calls for health warnings and stronger exposure limits. So, there are many scientists who agree that this radiation is harmful to our health.”
Correct. Complete coincidence. Given the millions of smart watches, the probability of such coincidence is likely. Regardless, it’s not causal.
Were you one of the writers of the movie “Thank you for smoking”? Pretty close to the statement in the ending scene. That is a complete falsehood also, they have been shown to cause cancer. Verizon spends a lot of money training their employees on it.
The World Health Organization disgrees with you:
Researchers have conducted a vast number of studies over the last two decades to assess health risks resulting from mobile phones. According to the World Health Organisation, no adverse health effects have so far been established as being caused by mobile phone use.
There will always be fringe scientists.
I note that the website doesn't actually seem to link to any of those alleged papers, so there's no way to know if they are peer-reviewed, if any of them are RCT studies, what journals with what impact scores they were published in.
Here is the link to the appeal. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will find the Scientists/Doctors who signed the appeal from the US and their respective institutions.
Harvard, Columbia, USC just to name a few of the institutions they represent. I would not say “fringe” institutions, you may feel differently.

What is the technical definition of "a bunch"? How many people get squamous cell cancer in a year? What percentage of those people have an Apple Watch? What percentage of those people have cancer where their watch touches them? What percentage of people who have cancer but don't wear a watch have cancer there?

Right, because personal injury lawyers won’t touch this with a ten foot pole. They know they can’t win because the science says otherwise.
Coincidence is not causation.
No, but the radiation cellular devices emit is. I didn’t think that needed explanation.
It does, there are links to multiple papers in fact.
Here is one!
