Apple will release an update to address French authorities’ radiation concerns after the iPhone 12 ban there
The Cupertino-based tech giant has now declared that it would provide an update for customers to resolve this issue with the authorities who banned the sales of certain models owing to an infringement of radiation limitations. The announcement comes after a radiation controversy that afflicted the Apple iPhone 12 in France.
The business told Reuters that the upgrade intends to maintain the iPhone 12’s availability in the nation. Additionally, the modifications will follow the rules established by the authorities.
“In order to comply with the protocol employed by French regulations, we will provide a software update for users in France. We anticipate that the iPhone 12 will remain accessible in France, according to Apple. It said, “This is not a safety risk; it is tied to a particular testing technique utilized by French authorities.
The responsible authorities applauded the choice in response to the update. The French Ministry of Digital Transition and Telecommunications, under the leadership of Jean Noel Barrot, said that the ANFR (French regulator) is getting ready to immediately test this upgrade. The restriction will be removed, according the statement, if this modification puts the vehicle in line with European requirements.
When the radiation concerns were first made, Apple disputed them, claiming that the 2020 model iPhone complies with international standards established by many international organisations. Belgium said that it will study the health hazards connected with the Apple smartphone in response to the spike in sales by France.
To put things in perspective, Europe is the second-largest market for Apple iPhones, and it has influenced improvements like USB-C on the newest models. On September 12, Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 series as the replacement for the iPhone 14 devices. The models followed the anticipated pattern: Apple’s 15-, 15-plus-, 15-pro, and 15-pro-maxion-generation iPhones
