The ANFR reports that tests show that the absorption of this radiation by the body has been determined at 5.74 watts per kilogram. However, the European standard is 4.0 watts per kilogram of body weight. “For phones that have already been sold, Apple must take corrective measures as quickly as possible to bring the affected phones into compliance with the standard,” the French regulator said in a statement on its website. “Otherwise Apple will have to recall them.”
Apple itself tells the AFP news agency that it disputes the results. According to the American tech group, several independent analyzes have shown that the iPhones did meet the standards.
Yet Apple responds to the regulator’s call. From Wednesday, ANFR employees will check whether the iPhone 12 has indeed disappeared from French stores.
