Hey there! Recently, a whistleblower raised concerns about radiation levels in France in Apple devices, specifically the iPhone 12. Apple quickly jumped in to address the issue and announced that it would be rolling out a software update to ensure the device complies with the country’s radiation emissions standards.
The iPhone 12, which was introduced in 2020 and is no longer sold, is reportedly emitting more electromagnetic waves than the European standard allows. Because of this, the French National Frequency Agency (ANFR) ordered Apple to stop selling the iPhone 12 until the problem was fixed. Apple has two weeks to acknowledge and resolve the issue, or they must recall the device.
Apple will release a software update in France to address iPhone 12 radiation concerns.
Apple denied the allegations despite the ANFR’s reports, stating that the iPhone 12 is safe and globally certified. However, Apple is releasing a software update in France to ease concerns. Other European countries, including Belgium, Germany, and Italy, are also monitoring the situation and may respond as necessary.
The update hasn’t started rolling out yet but is expected to begin in the coming weeks. Apple hasn’t shared any specifics about the changes, but the update is likely to adjust the iPhone 12’s radio wave handling. Other countries might also require Apple to release similar updates to address the device’s electromagnetic waves.
Once Apple releases the software update, ANFR will test the iPhone 12 to see if it emits significantly fewer electromagnetic waves. If the device passes the test and meets European standards, the ban on sales will be lifted.
What do you think about this issue? Do you believe the iPhone 12 poses a real threat, or is it just a formality? Let’s discuss it!
