Directly on Your Face

There’s a good chance that your iPhone is harboring more bacteria than your toilet seat. Some of that toilet bacteria could even be getting on your smartphone, if you keep it in the bathroom (like we mentioned in the last slide).

Some experts warn against using an iPhone next to your head because of the radiation it gives off. As we alluded to previously, the science isn’t settled on the dangers of smartphone radiation. Either way, a bacteria-ridden iPhone is probably not something you want resting against your face.

We’re not saying you should refrain from taking calls on your iPhone entirely, but it’s probably smart to periodically clean it and use a Bluetooth headset when possible.
