The iPhone 12 will no longer emit too much radiation under French standards after iOS 17.1 is installed
Apple went on to say, “This has been thoroughly tested and verified internationally to be an effective mechanism to comply with SAR (specific absorption rate) requirements. The slightly higher power is not applicable to SAR compliance since the phone is on the table, not on your body. The ANFR was using a testing protocol that does not account for this off-body detection mechanism, thereby not allowing a slight increase in power when it is appropriate. So for users in France, we have released a software update that turns off this feature to accommodate this test protocol.”
With iOS 17.1, iPhone 12 will no longer increase the power when the phone is detected to be off-body such as when it is sitting on a table. There is a caveat, however. In some areas where the cellular signal is low, the change being made to the antenna transmit power in iOS 17.1 may result in lower cellular performance on the iPhone 12 when the device is located off-body. But as Apple notes, “The vast majority of users are not expected to notice any impact.”
