Apple to issue French software update for iPhone 12 after sales halt
Summary
The French agency, which monitors public exposure to electromagnetic waves, said the specific absorption rate (SAR) when the phone was tested was over the authorised limit. Frances junior minister in charge of digital, Jean-Noël Barrot, said that he had spoken several times with Apples teams since the decision to withdraw the phone from the French market this week. "The ANFR is prepared to quickly test this software update which would allow the model to come into compliance with European standards applied in France and lift the marketing withdrawal". The European Commission confirmed to Euronews Next that due to the EU directive on radio equipment, a French halt on iPhone 12 sales could result in an EU-wide ban. The latest iPhone includes a USB-C charger after European lawmakers passed a law requiring a single charging solution for all electronic devices.
