Oh, good. So whenever some fool tosses a phone out of a car to get crushed on the roadway, shoots one because TikTok, or otherwise mangles a phone, we now have a potential for radioactive material to be spread around?

No, read the article. It’s Nikel 63 and the decay is copper. It’s contained in a metal seal.
