Apple to update iPhone 12 in France over radiation

Apple will update its iPhone 12 in France after fears about radiation, the country's digital minister says. Sales of iPhone 12 were halted in France after a regulator detected too much electromagnetic radiation. Mr Barrot said that the radio frequency regulator would test the new update to check its compliance before iPhone 12 is allowed back on sale in the country. In a statement sent to AFP news agency, Apple said the radiation finding in France was "Related to a specific testing protocol used by French regulators and not a safety concern". It said the iPhone 12 complied with emissions rules worldwide, but it would "Issue a software update for users in France to accommodate the protocol used by French regulators".
