Apple is preparing a software update for the iPhone 12 in EU countries to reduce radiation levels and make the smartphone compliant with the bloc's sanitary standards, writes MacRumors.
In 2023, Apple released the same update for the iPhone 12 in France. At that time, the country's government forced the Cupertino company to stop selling the smartphone due to excessive radiation emissions.
The decision to roll out the update to users across the European Union was the result of a decision by the European Commission based on original findings from the French national frequency agency ANFR.
Apple says the iPhone 12 software update will be rolling out to all EU member states in the next few weeks, but the company continues to insist that the French testing methodology was flawed.
"We continue to disagree with the French ANFR's testing approach, (but) respect the European Commission's decision. Customers can use their iPhone 12 with full confidence, just as they always have," Apple said.
