French authorities approve Apple's software update of its iphone 12

PARIS (Reuters) – French authorities have given their approval to Apple’s software update for the iPhone 12, resolving a dispute over the device’s radiation levels. This decision comes after France suspended the sale of the phones earlier this month.

The controversy began when concerns were raised about the levels of radiation emitted by the iPhone 12. France took the precautionary measure of halting sales until further investigations were conducted.

Apple responded by asserting that their devices comply with the country’s regulatory standards and that the radiation levels emitted by the iPhone 12 are within acceptable limits. They also claimed that the measurements were inaccurate due to errors in the testing procedure.

After thorough evaluation, French authorities have now agreed to Apple’s software update, which aims to address any potential radiation concerns. This development ensures that the iPhone 12 is in compliance with French regulations and can be sold in the country once again.

The decision to suspend sales was a precautionary measure taken by the French government to ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens. France has strict regulations regarding radiation levels in electronic devices, with a focus on protecting public health.

The iPhone 12, which was released in 2020, has been a popular choice among consumers globally. However, concerns about its radiation levels have been raised in several countries, prompting further investigations and evaluations.

With the approval of Apple’s software update, it is expected that the other countries currently investigating the iPhone 12’s radiation levels will also find a resolution to this issue. Apple has consistently maintained that their devices are safe and compliant with regulatory standards.

France’s decision to lift the suspension and allow the sale of iPhone 12 once again indicates that the concerns regarding radiation levels have been addressed and resolved.

Apple’s iPhone 12 is a flagship device that offers advanced features and capabilities. The resolution of this dispute will be welcomed by both Apple and its customers, allowing them to confidently use and enjoy their devices.
