Apple to provide iPhone 12 software update to settle row
Apple said on Friday it would issue a software update for iPhone 12 users in France.


Apple said on Friday it would issue a software update for iPhone 12 users in France, in what seemed to offer a way out of a row with French regulators which had ordered the suspension of the phone’s sale due to breaches of radiation exposure limits.
“We will issue a software update for users in France to accommodate the protocol used by French regulators. We look forward to iPhone 12 continuing to be available in France,” Apple said in a statement.
“This is related to a specific testing protocol used by French regulators and not a safety concern,” it said.
The French ANFR regulator is preparing to rapidly test this software update, which would eventually bring iPhone 12 into compliance with European standards applied in France, and lift the marketing withdrawal, French Digital Affairs Minister Jean Noel Barrot’s ministry said in a statement.
