Paris: When Apple launched its iPhone 15, France gave the company a big jolt. The sale of Apple’s iPhone 12 has been banned in France. This was done because there were complaints of harmful radiation coming from iPhone 12 phones. ANFR, the French agency that regulates radio frequencies, has given this information. ANFR said it had ordered Apple’s iPhone 12 off the market on September 12 because the phone’s body was emitting too much electromagnetic radiation.
French organization ANFR reported Apple’s decision to ban iPhone 12 sales. Lab tests found that whether the phone is in the hand or pocket, the body absorbs 5.74 watts per kilogram of electromagnetic radiation. However, in European countries it should range within 4.0 watts per kilogram.
Oh My God! You’ll buy 13 Android phones for the price of a new iPhone 15, what does the company have to offer?
The news comes hours after Apple CEO Tim Cook launched the iPhone 15 and other new Apple products at the company’s Wanderlust event. Apple has also introduced a USB-C charging port for its iPhone and all its other products. The EU mandated that all mobile phones, tablets and cameras available for sale in the region must have a USB Type-C charging interface by the end of 2024.
