Any cell phone at or below these SAR levels (that is, any phone legally sold in the U.S.) is a “safe” phone, as measured by these standards. In the U.S., the FCC requires cell phone manufacturers to ensure that their phones comply with objective limits for safe exposure. SAR is a measure of the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. Without revealing the testing methodology or the results, a French minister said that the iPhone 12 exceeded the country’s Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for RF exposure. The ban was implemented after France’s radiation watchdog, Agence nationale des frequences (ANFR), did its own testing on the iPhone 12. On September 12, LeParisien reported that France’s National Frequency Agency notified Apple to withdraw its iPhone 12 from sale as it emits “too powerful waves.” If the American manufacturer didn’t comply, Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister in charge of Digital Affairs, threatened to go further, the article adds. IOS 17.1 is designed to allay ANFR fears over iPhone 12 radiation levels. The company has committed to rolling out this software update to all French iPhone 12 users by October 24 at the latest.
This update was distributed by Apple to certain voluntary customers over the past few days (“beta testers”). The iOS 17.1 update is set to be released to the public by October 24 “at the latest,” according to the French regulatory group ANFR as noted by iPhoneSoft.įrom the article: Apple has developed a software update and the ANFR has validated it since it effectively brings the localized “member” SAR into compliance with the regulatory limit of 4 W/kg.
Or they can be downloaded over-the-air once the proper configuration profile has been installed from the Developer Center. Registered developers can download the beta via Apple’s developer portal.
A release candidate, also known as “going silver,” is a beta version with potential to be a stable product. Apple has posted a second release candidate to developers.
