Although the Telephone radiation It is practically harmless to humans, there are some scales that brands must take into account and adapt to these, further protecting the customer. Something they get in different ways.
Today, we will see how the iPhone 12which already had problems in his day in France, where he stopped selling for this reason, has a high radiation level, so Apple has had to get down to work to solve it, at least in the European Union, where they demand it.
High radiation on the iPhone 12?
Apple will get a Software update for all iPhone 12 that are used in the European Union. It is not a normal update of functions, but an adjustment for the phone to issue less radiation and meet the limits that mark health standards.
All this comes from 2023, when in France, as we have already mentioned, tests were done and it was detected that the model exceeded the level of radiation permitted. That led to the sales and that Apple had to launch a patch only for that country, something that was finally accepted by the French regulators, being able to sell them again.
Now, the European Commission He decided that the measure could not be left alone in France and asked that the change be applied in the 27 EU countries. Apple says that the problem is due to the way in which the tests were done, because the “off-body” system was not taken into account, which lowers the power of the signal when the iPhone is not attached to the body. Ensures that this function is internationally validated and that the phone never represented a real risk. Anyway, the company accepted the decision and confirms that users can be calm, since the iPhone 12 is safe, and with the update any questions are eliminated.
He patch will arrive in the coming weeks and will be installed in a general way. Thus, a conflict that began two years ago in a single country ends with an adjustment that affects millions of users throughout Europe, and makes it clear that, when it comes to health issues and consumer confidence, the European Union prefers to go on safe.
If you have an iPhone 12 you should not do much, and only install the updates when they arrive, as always, without worrying about this, since, although the levels can be superior to other iPhone models, there are many brands that also exceed that threshold, so it is not, even closely, one of the most “radioactive” phones, and are only rules that the EU applies by simple caution.
And you, do you have this model? Do you really believe that Apple breached something, or simply very strict measures are taken, although this type of radiation is harmless in humans? Leave us a comment with your opinion, and if it is one of the points that make you decide for a device before buying it.
