Apple has responded to radiation concerns raised by French regulators regarding its iPhone 12 model. 

The tech giant has announced its intention to release a software update specifically tailored to address these concerns. This update will be exclusively rolled out to iPhone 12 devices in France. Here’s a breakdown of the situation:

France’s Minister for Digital Transition and Telecommunications, Jean-Noel Barrot, brought attention to the iPhone 12’s compliance with European Union radiation standards. The French National Frequency Agency recently conducted tests and found that the iPhone 12 exceeded the permissible radiation levels.

Radiation Standards in Europe

Under European regulations, handheld phones, including those carried in pockets, must not exceed 4 watts per kilogram of electromagnetic energy absorption. French government tests revealed that the iPhone 12 recorded a measurement of 5.74 watts per kilogram, surpassing the allowed limit.

The discovery of elevated radiation levels in the iPhone 12 raised concerns over its continued availability in the French market. There were discussions of a potential ban on the sale of iPhone 12 devices in France.

Apple’s Response

Apple has staunchly defended the iPhone 12’s compliance with regulations. The company asserted that its phone adheres to the standards and provided extensive results from both in-house and third-party lab testing to support this claim.

This situation underscores the ongoing concerns regarding health risks associated with radiation from cell phones. As Apple prepares to issue the software update in France, the broader implications for the availability and sales of the iPhone 12 in the country remain uncertain.

This development highlights the delicate balance between technological advancements and ensuring the safety and compliance of devices in the ever-evolving landscape of digital technology. It raises profound questions about the responsibilities of tech companies in safeguarding user health while pushing the boundaries of innovation.
