Apple Reduces iPhone 12 Cellular Power in France to Comply with Radiation Limits
-
Apple has confirmed the iPhone 12 update reduces cellular transmission power, which may cause connection issues in some situations.
-
The update addresses excessive radiation levels found in the iPhone 12, which led to a sales ban in France.
-
Apple says the update complies with France's strict testing protocols, but may lead to poorer cellular performance in weak coverage areas.
-
The update only applies to iPhone 12 users in France for now, but could possibly roll out more widely across Europe.
-
Apple claims France's testing protocol doesn't match international standards, leading to the transmission power reduction needed for compliance.
