Apple announced on Tuesday its plan to comply with France’s radiation testing requirements by releasing an update that will limit the power usage of the iPhone 12 when it comes into contact with static surfaces.
In a dispute with French regulators who claimed that the iPhone 12 emitted excessive amounts of radiation, Apple halted sales of the device. However, Apple has now provided a detailed explanation of the discrepancy between the findings in France and those in other countries where the iPhone 12 is approved for sale.
In an article published on its website, Apple explained that iPhones have included sensors for over a decade to detect when they are near a user’s body. This feature allows the phone to lower transmission power. However, when the phone is not near a body, such as when it is placed on a table, slightly higher levels of transmission power are used.
Apple clarified that the testing method used by L’Agence Nationale des Frequences did not take into account this body-detection technology. To address this issue, Apple has released a software update that disables the body-detection feature in France. This update will be available to users this month and will ensure that the phone operates at lower transmission power levels at all times.
