Apple’s response to France’s decision to ban the sale of iPhone 12 We have provided evidence to France

We have provided evidence to France regarding the ban on the sale of iPhone 12

【PhoneAuto News】According to Reuters, Jean-Noel Barro, the French Minister in charge of digital transformation and telecommunications, stated in an interview on the 12th that Apple must stop selling the iPhone 12 models in France due to excessive radiation levels. “Apple is expected to respond within two weeks,” Barro said. “If they don’t, I am prepared to order the recall of all iPhone 12 models on sale.”

It is reported that Apple has already responded. Apple claims that the iPhone 12 has obtained certifications from multiple international institutions and has been confirmed to comply with all applicable SAR regulations and standards worldwide. We have provided results from multiple Apple and independent third-party laboratories to France and French representatives to prove its compliance.

Apple’s response

According to Reuters, France previously decided to ban the sale of iPhone 12 models because tests showed that the specific absorption rate (SAR) of iPhone 12 is slightly higher than the legally allowed level. The issue of the generation of thermal energy from mobile phone electromagnetic waves is typically represented by the SAR value, which is the ratio of electromagnetic wave energy absorption. A higher SAR value indicates a greater impact on the human body. The standard in the United States is 1.6W/kg, while in Europe it is 2.0W/kg.

Barro said that software updates are sufficient to solve such radiation problems.

It is understood that after the iPhone 15 series was launched, Apple has stopped selling four iPhone models in multiple markets worldwide, including the iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13 mini, and iPhone 12. However, these products may continue to be sold on e-commerce platforms until stocks are depleted. Some of them may also undergo refurbishment.
