Apple said its iPhone 12 model was certified as compliant with global radiation standards after a French watchdog ordered it to stop selling the handset.
The ANFR radiation watchdog told Apple on Tuesday to halt sales of iPhone 12s in France after tests which it said showed the phone's Specific Absorption Rate was higher than legally allowed.
The ANFR radiation watchdog told Apple on Tuesday to halt sales of iPhone 12s in France after tests which it said showed the phone's Specific Absorption Rate - a measure of the rate of radiofrequency energy absorbed by the body from a piece of equipment - was higher than legally allowed. It said it expected Apple "to deploy all available means to put an end to the non-compliance," and a failure to act would result in the recall of iPhone 12s already sold to consumers.
It said it was contesting the results of AFNR's review and would continue to engage with the agency to show it is compliant.
