Apple doesn’t want to take any chances, and will issue a new exclusive update for the iPhone 12, to reduce its radiation to acceptable levels.
Manzana has faced in recent days various aspects fundamental to the long-term success of the company, not only the announcement of the new iPhone 15 series, but also the ban of the iPhone 12 in France, and perhaps in other European countries.
Apple does not want to make the mistake that one of the most successful mobile phones in its current range could suffer a major setback in one of the most prominent markets in the world, and to do so it is going to make a drastic decision.
And to prevent the iPhone 12 from remaining banned in France, and perhaps affecting other European countries, Apple is going to launch a software update that will reduce radiation levels.
As reported by Reuters, Apple indicates that this update will be available in France soon to adapt to the demands of French regulators, and it is unknown if it will also reach other European countries.
“We will issue a software update to users in France to adapt to the protocol used by French regulators. We hope that the iPhone 12 will continue to be available in France. “This is related to a specific testing protocol used by French regulators and not a safety issue.”
If it passes the tests, it will be back on sale
On the other hand, the French National Frequency Agency (ANFR), which manages all radio frequencies in the country, will begin tests to ensure that the radiation levels of the iPhone 12 are within safety levels.
If the iPhone 12 passes the regulators’ tests, the device will once again be available for sale throughout the country.
This situation is very important for Apple, because the iPhone 12 continues to be a viable purchase option for many consumers who do not want to spend so much money on the latest releases from Cupertino.
On the other hand, if Apple ignores this requirement from French regulators, the iPhone 15 could also be subject to an investigation and could have serious consequences on accounts.
