If they don’t, I’m prepared to order a recall of all iPhone 12s in circulation. The rules are the same for everyone, including the digital giants,” Barro said.

Subsequently, Apple said in a statement that the company will release software updates for iPhone 12 users in France to adapt to the protocols used by French regulators, and Apple looks forward to continuing to sell iPhone 12 in the French market. “This is related to the specific testing protocols used by French regulators and not a safety issue,” the company added.

On September 12, the French Radio Authority inspected the electromagnetic radiation of 141 phones circulating on the market and found that the electromagnetic radiation specific absorption rate (SAR) of iPhone 12 reached 5.74 W/kg (Note: EU Standard is 4 W/kg), therefore the product is required to stop sales and Apple is ordered to correct the problems of the products sold.

According to Apple’s official data, the electromagnetic radiation-specific absorption rate of the iPhone 12 is approximately in the range of 1.6~2.0W/kg. For comparison, the maximum SAR value of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 2.0W/kg (only one model).

South Korea’s Ministry of Science, Technology, Information and Communications said, “All phones currently sold in South Korea, including the iPhone 12, are products that comply with international standards related to electromagnetic wave safety and have obtained compliance certification.”

“However, in order to alleviate public anxiety about this issue, upon hearing about the matter on the 13th, we immediately requested the manufacturer, Apple, to report the situation in accordance with Article 58-11 (Reporting of Non-Conformity) of the Radio Wave Act.”

“In the future, we will ensure precise verification of the four iPhone12 models (iPhone12, iPhone12 Pro, iPhone12 Mini, iPhone12 Pro Max).”

If the results of this verification show that the radiation value of the phone exceeds normal standards, South Korea’s Ministry of Science and Technology will order Apple to make corrections and decide to stop importing and selling the iPhone 12.

In response, French regulator ANFR said it would test software updates provided by Apple. The ANFR will cancel the order to withdraw from the market if it has an impact on the electromagnetic waves emitted by the device, making this model (iPhone 12) comply with the European standards applicable in France.

The French Deputy Minister of Digital Economy Barrot said on Tuesday that Apple must stop selling its iPhone 12 mobile phone in France because the radiation level of the phone exceeds the legal limit.

Barrow said that the French radiation monitoring agency ANFR notified Apple after testing the iPhone 12 and found that the phone’s specific absorption rate (SAR) was slightly higher than the legal limit.

Barrow said a software update would be enough to fix the radiation issues with the phone, which has been on sale since 2020. “Apple has two weeks to respond. If they don’t, I’m prepared to order a recall of all iPhone 12s in circulation. The rules are the same for everyone, including the digital giants,” he said.

In response, Apple said that the iPhone 12 has been certified by multiple international agencies and has been confirmed to comply with all applicable SAR regulations and standards around the world. The company provided French and French representatives with the results of multiple Apple and independent third-party laboratories. Demonstrate compliance.

The charging station also has a 30W USB-C port on the right side for charging iPad and MacBook Air, as well as a Qi-certified charging pad for charging AirPods.

The charging station features a modular design with an Apple Watch charging pad that magnetically connects to the main charging station for iPhone, iPad and AirPods and shares power from a 65W power adapter. There are two additional magnetic pins for connecting other modular components sold separately on the Zens website, such as an additional Qi charging pad or USB-A charger. the MagSafe charger can be adjusted to tilt to accommodate different iPhone viewing angles.

The Zens company also says the charging station is made of recycled plastic.

Since the addition of 5G network support in iPhone 12, Apple has included 5G models in all subsequent models. Apple also recently added support for 5G networks to the cellular version of the iPad. The latest survey found that consumers are more concerned about other features such as battery life and storage than the increased network speeds brought by 5G.

Canalys analyst Chiew Le Xuan said that for many people, 4G is fast enough to “meet daily use. The hype for 5G has died down and demand has shifted to more practical aspects of smartphones, such as battery life, storage, processor speed and camera quality,” the analyst said.

The report also points out that inflation may be behind the lack of 5G growth, and that 5G networks are still expected to buck the trend in Asia in the coming years. But 5G support can still be spotty, and many believe there is no longer a need to iterate.

William Hare, an analyst at technology research firm Omdia, said, “Despite the introduction of 5G network support, there is essentially not much difference between the iPhone now and the iPhone purchased five years ago, and innovation has slowed massively.”
