Apple confirms iPhone 12 software update in France to address radiation concerns

Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 on September 12th, with the new series available for prerorder on Friday in dozens of markets around the world. But on the iPhone 15 launch day, the French Agence Nationale des Frequences (ANFR) announced a ban on the iPhone 12 sales in the country. The regulator said the 2020 handsets emit higher radiation than allowed, threatening a recall.
