Apple said the upcoming iOS 17.1 update will reduce SAR emissions on the iPhone 12. says On the company’s support website.
In September, France’s National Frequency Agency banned Apple from selling iPhone 12 in the country until SAR emissions were reduced to meet European standards.
For this, the French iPhone 12 will disable the function that detects whether the device is in the owner’s hand or pocket. When the smartphone is not in the user’s hand, iPhone increases the transmission power of mobile communication. When holding a mobile device, this function does not work due to its uselessness.
At the same time, Apple noted that the French agency made a mistake during the study and that the iPhone 12 is still safe for users. However, the company agreed to disable this function in the country. Such a decision may affect the quality of communication.
iOS 17.1 is expected to be released at the end of October for iPhone 12 and newer models.
