The French National Frequency Agency (ANFR) recently tested 141 smartphones, including the iPhone 12, and found that it exceeded the country’s radiation exposure limits when held in the hand. Apple has disputed these findings, saying that the iPhone 12 complies with all applicable radiation safety standards.
However, Apple has announced that it will release a software update for the iPhone 12 in France to “accommodate the protocol used by French regulators.” This update is not expected to change the iPhone 12’s radiation emissions, but it may change how the phone is tested for radiation compliance.
It is important to note that there is no scientific evidence that the iPhone 12’s radiation emissions are harmful to human health. The radiation levels emitted by smartphones are very low, and they are well below the levels that have been shown to cause adverse health effects in humans.
