The saga of the iPhone 12 and its substandard radiation emissions has taken a new turn. Apple was keen to react quickly to avoid a permanent ban in France.
Apple news is once once more in turmoil with the recent controversy surrounding the levels of radiation emitted by the iPhone 12 in France. This case attracted attention from the public and regulators, putting Apple at the center of media attention.
Apple will offer a fix
It all started when France’s National Frequency Agency (ANFR) temporarily suspended the sale of the iPhone 12, saying the device exceeded the limits for specific absorption rate (SAR) — a measure of energy electromagnetic waves absorbed by the human body. The move immediately made headlines and was closely followed by other European countries, including Belgium, Germany and Italy, which expressed concern and requested information.
Faced with this growing pressure, Apple has decided to take action. The company announced that it will release a software update for the iPhone 12 in France to comply with European standards on airwave emissions. This update will recalibrate the device’s antennas and reduce the maximum transmit power, with the aim of complying with SAR standards.
A debate that hides another
However, this case raises important questions regarding how devices are tested and certified for compliance with radiation standards. Apple claims that the iPhone 12 had been certified by several international organizations in 2020 and that it complied with current standards. The data presented by Apple differs from that of the ANFR, which raises doubts regarding the testing methodology.
Mathieu Michel, the Secretary of State for Digitalization, Administrative Simplification, Protection of Privacy and Building Management, has also asked Apple to review all their standards for the European market.
Ultimately, Apple seeks to resolve this controversy quickly and efficiently. The company wants the iPhone 12 to remain available in France and is doing everything possible to ensure that iPhone 12 users can continue to enjoy their device with complete confidence.
