It's absolutely ridiculous for a company that creates/sells a computing platform to stipulate how it is used by it's users. This is not a morally questionable application that we as a society deem should be hard to access as in R+ or X rated media. It is an algorithm that suggests how the environment may or may not affect you - and it only suggests the possibilty. It does not guarantee the situation. We as individuals should have the right to use this information as and how we want to. Put a disclaimer on the app indicating the nature of this information at the most but don't ban it. I think Apple is violating free speech, fair trade practices and many other ideals that 'democratic' environments should uphold. Boo Apple!

Oh come on, this is a no-brainer - look at the screen snap.
It says "monitoring".
Given the lack of any hardware of any form in the iPhone, this is clearly 100% prevarication.
Why not also claim "monitoring the presence of dinosaurs" while you're at it?

Having an application which monitors the radiation emitted is something savvy consumers need to have and be informed about. When you ask a salesperson at an Apple Store about the SAR ratings of their iPhones, they look at you like they've never heard that question/concern before. Ironic since Apple likes to see itself as being 'cutting edge'.It's only 'cutting edge' when it suits their marketing plans. Apple needs to be ahead of the curve in supporting their customers who are concerned about possible health hazards of their products.
