High Radiation iPhone Blocked by European Countries, Apple Opens Voice
PAris, September 15, 2023 – Apple recently launched the latest series of their flagship product, the iPhone 15, with all the sophistication it has. However, the spotlight was on the previous series, the iPhone 12, which was suddenly banned from being sold in France for allegedly emitting high radiation, exceeding the limit set by the country’s authorities.
What happened?
French authorities recently issued a strict rule that requires Apple to stop selling the iPhone 12 series in this European country. The reason is the high level of radiation released by this device, which is reported to exceed the limit set by the country.
Response from Apple
Apple does not remain silent in the face of this problem. They firmly denied claims that their iPhone 12 emitted high radiation. According to Apple’s official statement, the device has met the global radiation standards set by international institutions.
Furthermore, Apple claims that they have carried out a series of laboratory tests that tested the radiation level of the iPhone 12. The results of these tests, according to Apple, show that the device is in accordance with regulations in France.
invention of French authorities
Before being banned, the French Institute for Food, Environment, and Health-Security (ANES) found that the iPhone 12 exceeded the limit set in the indicator known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 4.0 watts per kilogram.
SAR is a measurement indicator that measures the amount of radio frequency power absorbed by the human body when using a cell phone.
According to the French daily report, Le Parisien, the French Radiation Authority (ANFR) has told Apple to withhold the sale of the iPhone 12 after the SAR test results show that the device does not meet the set limit.
Impact on Apple
This action is the first time Apple has been affected by radiation testing by French authorities. Based on the results of the ANFR test, the radiation level emitted and absorbed by users from the iPhone 12 is 5.74 watts per kilogram, exceeding the previously set limit of 4.0 watts per kilogram.
What will happen next?
Currently, ANFR has ordered a special team to investigate whether the iPhone 12 is still on the market. The French government argues that this issue can be resolved if Apple releases the appropriate software update. However, if this solution is not found, it is likely that the iPhone 12 will be permanently removed from the market.
Conclusion
In situations that might have a big impact on Apple, the iPhone 12, the previous series that was once very popular, had to face serious challenges in France because of the radiation problems being detected. All eyes are now on how Apple will respond to French authorities’ requests and whether the iPhone 12 will remain available to consumers in the country.
