Mobile phones are prohibited from selling due to excessive radiation levels! Apple's latest response
The French National Frequency Administration announced on the 12th that the test results showed that the electromagnetic radiation value of the Apple iPhone 12 exceeded EU standards. Apple has been requested to temporarily remove this phone from the French market starting from the same day.
The announcement stated that the French National Frequency Administration, as the regulatory agency for the wireless communication industry, has recently tested a batch of mobile phones, including the Apple iPhone 12, to check whether the specific absorption rate of the phones meets the standard. Specific absorption rate reflects the level of radiation absorbed by people's bodies when exposed to electromagnetic radiation. The test results show that the human specific absorption rate of iPhone 12 is 5.74 watts per kilogram, exceeding the upper limit of 4 watts per kilogram set by the European Union.
According to the announcement, Apple must immediately take all necessary measures to suspend the sale of iPhone 12 phones in France. For those sold iPhone 12 phones, Apple must also take necessary corrective measures to make them meet the requirements as soon as possible. Otherwise, the company will be ordered to recall the relevant phones. The French National Frequency Administration also stated that it will share the testing information of iPhone 12 with all EU member states.
On the same day, Apple adopted the USB Type-C charging interface for the first time in its newly released iPhone 15 series products, replacing its unique lightning charging interface. According to EU requirements, by the autumn of 2024, the USB Type-C interface will become the standard charging interface for small and medium-sized portable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and cameras in the EU. The EU stated that this move is aimed at reducing electronic waste and making consumer life more convenient.
