Apple has a China crisis in France

Fruity cargo cult Apple might be facing a recall of its iPhone 12s because the French regulator considers them dangerously radioactive.

France’s National Frequency Agency (ANFR) has politely asked Apple to withdraw the iPhone 12 from the French market over radiation concerns. It is worried that over exposure to the iPhone 12 could cause cancer and other health complications

The ANFR tested 141 phones and found that the iPhone 12 exceeded France’s regulatory limits for radiation. Using a measurement called SAR (specific absorption rates), the agency determined that the iPhone 12 exposes the human body to electromagnetic waves higher than the European standard of 4 W/kg (the iPhone 12's waves came in at 5.74 W/kg, said the agency).

The ANFR ordered Apple to stop selling the iPhone 12 in France. The agency also said it would send agents to retailers to ensure the phone was no longer being sold. If Apple fails to act, the ANFR is prepared to recall iPhone 12 phones currently used in the country.

You would think that a company which cares for its users might rush to withdraw the phone, given that they are already elderly. No one in their right mind would want an elderly iPhone, but then again, hanging onto one could be a symptom of a brain tumour.
