French regulators also ordered the tech giant to fix existing phones on Tuesday.

ANFR has instructed Apple to recall every iPhone 12 ever sold in the country if a software update cannot resolve the issue.

The World Health Organization has previously sought to allay fears about mobile phone radiation.

According to its website, low level electromagnetic fields are not harmful to humans.

Despite its release in September 2020, the iPhone 12 is still in high demand worldwide.

According to Apple, it is contesting the ANFR’s review and has provided the regulator with lab results that prove its device complies with all regulations.

According to the report, the iPhone 12 is compliant with radiation regulations around the world. According to him, the iPhone 12’s Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) exceeded legal limits.

“Apple should respond within two weeks,” he said.

The rule is the same for everyone, including the digital giants, if they fail to do so.”

Barrot said France will share its findings with other regulators across the trading bloc, which could lead to “a snowball effect”.

According to the ANFR, the SAR of devices must be verified against two different ways of using a phone.
