Near-field being as big as 2 meters from the charger can be quite relevant for use in aircraft. Since on a narrow-body aircraft passengers can easily be within 2 meters of some of the VHF antennae.
On the other hand, aviation voice radios aren't very sensitive and navigation radios have filtering built-in. So the output of an Apple charger is probably some orders of magnitude too small to cause any issues.

But, separated by a very large piece of conductive metal. (I think even carbon fiber planes have a conductive layer in there, to prevent damage from lightning strikes.)
Yes, and blocks radio transmissions very nicely. When making a model airplane with a carbon fibre hull, we have to add a plain fibreglass or plastic window for the antenna to receive through.
