iPhone’s lack of replaceable batteries is a health risk, says firm that makes replaceable batteries

It’s no surprise that when a device is as hyped as the iPhone, there’ll be a bunch of companies looking to piggyback on its publicity with their own opportunistic press releases.

So, to Exradia, which makes replaceable batteries for mobile phones incorporating a special circuit, which claims to block nasty radiation from frying your brain.

The company issued a statement on Friday expressing its disappointment that Apple hasn’t made the iPhone’s battery replaceable, saying it was “surprised Apple has chosen to ignore this potential health issue” and that “there is currently no scientific evidence that clearly demonstrates mobile devices are safe”.

Nice bit of scaremongering there, but given the excitement around the iPhone launch, it seems the warning is likely to fall on deaf ears. And no, they’re not deaf because they’ve been irradiated. Not yet, anyway.
