Apple to update software on iPhone 12 in France - Taipei Times

General News

Summary

France this week suspended sales of iPhone 12 handsets after tests which it said found breaches of radiation exposure limits. Apple contested the findings, saying the iPhone 12 was certified by multiple international bodies as compliant with global standards, but yesterday said it would issue a software update to accommodate the testing methods used in France. However, the radiation warning in France, based on results of tests that differ from those carried out in other countries, has prompted concerns across Europe. The French government welcomed Apple’s software update, saying it would be swiftly tested and should allow for sales of the relatively old iPhone 12 model, launched in 2020, to resume. “Ultimately I suspect the whole incident will be quickly forgotten,” CCS Insight chief analyst Ben Wood said, as the iPhone 12 is an old model.
