Apple Addresses Radiation Concerns with iPhone 12 Software Update in France

Apple will release a software update for iPhone 12 users in France to address concerns raised by regulators regarding the device's radiation levels. The French regulators had ordered a ban on the sale of iPhone 12 models after finding that the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) exceeded European radiation exposure limits. Apple has dismissed the claims, stating that it is related to a specific testing protocol used by French regulators and not a safety concern with the iPhone 12 itself. Other countries, including Belgium, Germany, and Italy, have expressed their intention to monitor the situation.

Apple will issue a software update for iPhone 12 users in France to address radiation concerns raised by the country's regulators. The update is related to a specific testing protocol used by French regulators and not a safety concern. The French regulator ANFR will test the update, and if it brings the device into compliance with European standards, the marketing withdrawal order will be lifted. France had ordered Apple to halt iPhone 12 sales and recall existing devices due to exceeding electromagnetic radiation limits, although the radiation level was deemed not dangerous.

France Bans iPhone 12 Sales Due to Radiation Worries

France has ordered Apple to stop selling iPhone 12 models and recall all devices sold in the country due to concerns over excessive electromagnetic radiation. The French agency responsible for regulating radio frequencies found that the iPhone 12 emits more electromagnetic waves than permitted, posing a potential risk to users. Apple has contested the findings and stated that the device is compliant with all relevant regulations. This is not the first time Apple has faced regulatory scrutiny in France, as the country has previously required retailers to display radiation values on product packaging. Apple has two weeks to respond to the order.

"Concerns Mount for Japanese Restaurants in China Amidst Impending Fukushima Water Discharge"

Japanese restaurants in China are facing an uncertain future as the country prepares to discharge treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. China, the largest importer of Japanese seafood, has imposed stricter checks on food imports, causing delays at customs and a decline in customers. Chinese social media is filled with posts and hashtags calling for a boycott of Japanese food due to radiation concerns. Seafood suppliers are also struggling, with wait times at Chinese ports increasing significantly. Some Japanese restaurateurs are adapting their menus and sourcing ingredients from other countries to survive.
