To prevent the iPhone 12 from being banned in France, Apple is reportedly working to release a software update that is said to bring down the radiation levels to accommodate the request of French regulators. Before being officially released back in 2020, it was reported that Apple knew about this problem and instructed its employees to stay quiet about the whole thing. It does not appear that there will be any legal repercussions against the California-based giant this time.
So this applies to only devices sold in France? I’d love to know what changes to the software are being made to deal with radiation.
The word “radiation” has unfortunately been commandeered by idiots to mean “TOXIC MAGIC AIR”. Lightbulbs radiate (produce light).
In this case they’re 100% just reducing the gain on the phone’s signal strength. No harm prevented. Purely regulatory.
A rock thrown in a pond radiates too. You capping your hands, boom radiations.
So, I happen to know about a huge, unshielded nuclear reactor near a major population center.
There are millions of documented cases of deadly cancer directly caused by its high energy emissions, even kids are often exposed to hazardous levels.
It’s called the sun.
if i had to guess, it’s setting power limits on the cell/wifi radio chip.
France loosing one network bar.

Probably going to throttle it a bit. The only issue is that the power level of the radios in the phone make it a little too warm when you have it to your face.
