French regulators on Tuesday ordered Apple to halt sales of the iPhone 12
for emitting too much electromagnetic radiation, and to fix existing handsets.
"Concerning phones already sold, Apple must in the briefest of delays take corrective measures to bring the affected phones into compliance," said the ANFR in a statement on its website.
"Otherwise, Apple will have to recall them."

Apple has said that it has provided France's radiation watchdog,
Agence nationale des frequences (ANFR), with documentation from
multiple international regulatory agencies. All of the data provided
shows that Apple is in compliance with limits, everywhere in the
world.

The French authorities used multiple institutes

have no say in France and Europe.

French regulators on Tuesday ordered Apple to halt sales of the
iPhone 12 for emitting too much electromagnetic radiation, and to fix >existing handsets.
The French agency that regulates radio frequencies, the ANFR, said
testing found that the model emits more electromagnetic waves
susceptible to be absorbed by the body than permitted.
The ANFR said it "ordered Apple to remove the iPhone 12 from the
French market from September 12 due to the model exceeding the limit"
for electromagnetic absorption by the body.
It said accredited labs had found absorption of electromagnetic
energy by the body at 5.74 watts per kilogram during tests simulating
when the phone was being held in the hand or kept in a pocket.
The European standard is a specific absorption rate of 4.0 watts per
kilogram in such tests.
"Concerning phones already sold, Apple must in the briefest of delays
take corrective measures to bring the affected phones into
compliance," said the ANFR in a statement on its website.
"Otherwise, Apple will have to recall them."
ANFR noted that tests that measure the electromagnetic radiation
absorbed at a distance of five centimetres was in compliance with the
limit of 2.0 watts per kilogram.
ANFR said its agents would verify beginning Wednesday that iPhone 12
models were no longer being offered for sale in France.
When contacted by AFP, Apple disputed the ANFR's results, saying it
had presented multiple independent analyses showing the devices were
in compliance, but that the company would nonetheless continue to
work with the regulator.
Regulators in a number of countries have limits on the amount of >electromagnetic radiation mobile phones may emit to prevent adverse
health effects.
The World Health Organization states on its website that following a
large number of studies that "no adverse health effects have been
established as being caused by mobile phone use".

Yes, that's what everyone said they would do. The side-effect of
reducing the SAR, by reducing the output power, is that it will also
reduce the signal range. You always set the output power to where the
SAR is just a tad below the legal limit.
A good reason for iPhone 12 owners to upgrade to the 15.

This whole thing is due to the French regulators applying the same SAR absorption standard as the rest of the EU - but at a *closer* distance. (Obviously radiation follows the inverse square law so this means you
absorb more radiation in France. 🤪)
The relevant standard for EU-wide regulations is EN 50566:2013, which
allows manufacturers to choose the separation with up to 25mm (most
vendors standardized on 15mm because this is the maximum separation
allowed under the FCC standard). The French disagree with this standard because: reasons, and specify the limits at a much closer 0mm and 5mm separation, which obviously increases absorption. However, they did not increase the absorption limits accordingly, again because: reasons.
Moving the emitter closer naturally results in a stronger signal, and
the SAR threshold should be adjusted accordingly - which the french
didn't do, because they're obviously low-key catering to the "phones
cause cancer" wackos for political play.
What this really means is that *most* phones are suddenly out of
compliance with the new French regulations. ANFR themselves say "a large proportion of phones" are out of compliance. Since the EU is more of an advisory body and allows individual countries to set such limits individually, the EU has issued an application restriction which
prohibits their usage in France (presumably until manufacturers patch TX power limits downwards as Apple will most likely do).
A whole lot of French people are about to start complaining about weak cellular connectivity. Wonder who they will blame for that... 🤣
