The French regulator ANFR recently issued a press release, saying Apple will release on October 24th the iOS 17.1 stable version, which will fix the iPhone 12 radiation problem.
“Apple has committed to deploying the update in France, and the fix will be pushed to all users by October 24”, the site writes.
Apple issued a press release about the upcoming release of the iOS 17.1 system update for iPhone 12 users in France, which reduces the power of energy transfer when the device has been left off the body and placed on a static surface, thus complying with the relevant test requirements of France’s National Frequency Authority (ANFR).
Apple says that the iPhone 12 will no longer crank up the allowed transmission power when it detects that the phone is off-body, such as when it’s sitting on a tabletop, after the update. As a result, this change in antenna transmission power may result in a slight decrease in cellular network performance in certain usage scenarios when the phone is off the body in areas with weak cellular network signal coverage. Most users are not expected to feel any impact.
iOS 17.1 is currently in its 3rd Beta update, which tweaks the functionality of the Action button to prevent certain actions from being triggered when the iPhone is in a pocket or bag.
The Camera, Flashlight, Voice Memo, Focus, and Magnifier functions will no longer be activated when the Action button is pressed by mistake if the iPhone is in a pocket.
In addition, iOS 17.1 fixes a bug that affected iPhone battery life when paired with an Apple Watch running watchOS 10.1.
iOS 17.1 adds the option to favourite songs, albums, playlists, artists, and more, and to add favourites to the library and use them to make suggestions. Favourites can be bookmarked from the lock screen using the Now Playing widget, and users will now see song suggestions when launching a playlist.
Additionally, AirDrop transfers can be done over the internet so there’s no need to be in close proximity, and the Apple Watch running watchOS 10.1 can now use NameDrop with an iPhone running iOS 17.1.
Other new features include a flashlight indicator on the non-iPhone 15 Pro model’s Spirit Island and a wallet feature that lets Brits connect to their bank to check balances and transactions.
