French authorities have given their approval to a software update released by Apple in response to concerns about radiation levels in iPhone 12 devices. The French government had threatened to ban the sale of the iPhone 12 and initiate a recall if the issue was not addressed. Apple had previously maintained that the radiation levels in the iPhone 12 were within safe limits. The company discontinued the iPhone 12 on the same day that the regulator’s complaint was made public, coinciding with the introduction of the iPhone 15.
In an effort to resolve concerns raised by French authorities, Apple submitted a software update earlier this week. This update is intended to address the issue of radiation levels in iPhone 12 devices. With the approval from French authorities, iPhone 12 users in France can now feel reassured about the safety of their devices. Despite this issue, the discontinuation of the iPhone 12 suggests that it may have been a minor hurdle for Apple, as the company introduced the iPhone 15 on the same day.
While the French authorities have given their approval to the software update, it is unclear if similar investigations or concerns will be raised regarding other iPhone models or accessories. The concerns regarding radiation levels in the iPhone 12 can now be considered resolved, allowing Apple to move forward and focus on their newer product offerings.
