Apple Inc<\/a> found itself running into controversy as the French Government has claimed radiotion emission from their Apple iPhone 12 is beyond permissable limits. Latest reports have cited a directive by the tech giant instructing its tech support staff to avoid talking on the \u2018radiation\u2019 claim \u00a0enquiries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Apple Inc<\/a>. has advised tech-support staff to not voluntarily provide any information when consumers ask about the Radiation claim issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n If customers inquire about the French government<\/a>\u2019s claim that the model exceeds standards for electromagnetic radiation, workers should say they don\u2019t have anything to share, Apple employees have been told, according to a Bloomberg<\/i> report.\u00a0<\/p>\n Staff should also reject customers\u2019 requests to return or exchange the phone unless it was purchased in the past two weeks \u2014 Apple\u2019s normal return policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Customers asking if the phone is safe should answer be told that all Apple products go through rigorous testing to ensure that they\u2019re safe, according to the guidance, reported by Bloomberg<\/i>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The French government asked Apple<\/a> earlier this week to cease sales of the iPhone 12 because tests showed that the device emits electromagnetic waves that are too strong. The country\u2019s digital minister told Apple it has two weeks to fix the issue via a software update.<\/p>\n Apple<\/a> rebutted the claims and said it would engage with France to show that the iPhone 12<\/a> is compliant. The Cupertino, California-based technology giant said it provided officials with in-house and third-party lab testing to demonstrate that the product is within the legal range.\u00a0<\/p>\n Apple was already phasing out the iPhone 12 just as the issue flared up. The model debuted in 2020, and Apple stopped selling it Tuesday with the announcement of the iPhone 15 <\/a>line. But France\u2019s stance threatens to spark concern among the millions of existing iPhone 12 users. Apple sold more than 100 million units of the device within its first seven months on sale, according to Counterpoint Research.<\/p>\n In the days since France\u2019s initial statement, other countries in the European Union, including Belgium and Germany, have started to assess the iPhone 12\u2019s radiation levels.<\/p>\n (With inputs from Bloomberg)<\/i><\/p>\n \t <\/p>\n More<\/a> \n\t\tUpdated: 15 Sep 2023, 06:53 PM IST\n\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apple Inc found itself running into controversy as the French Government has claimed radiotion emission from their Apple iPhone 12 is beyond permissable limits.
