iPhone 12 radiation update Australia

Hi, will the same radiation update that France is receiving be available in Australia? surely Apple should be rolling this out globally, not picking and choosing which countries get the update.

Im worried now… will they offer a refund? Or a Recall?

There is no update, Apple is disputing their claim. You will have to wait and see what the outcome is.


France's digital minister said the iPhone 12's radiation levels are still much lower than levels that scientific studies consider could harm users, and the agency itself acknowledges that its tests don't reflect typical phone use.


How is it that the phone passed multiple international standards, and here we are, three years after the iPhone 12 was released (and probably a year or so of testing before that) and they are just now discovering a problem?
