Apple promises software update to lower the iPhone 12's radiation in France

The signal reception of the iPhone 12 would probably be lower than usual. Let me guess, the users would attribute it to their phone getting older and they would just buy the new iPhone 15 series. Win2x for Apple.

Money, 16 Sep 2023And this is why companies love using celebrities for sponso... moreyeah cause my logic is that Steph Curry and Devin Booker etc they seem like power user of a phone with having to constantly stay on communication with the media, other players, teammates, business deals, etc etc so it seems like the iPhone goes a long way to keep them in the loop on their business - but i agree and see a lot of peoples point here though that just because they use it does not mean it is like mean iphone is for everyone - like i saw the referees in the kings wariors playoff game using ipad to watch a replay but i need to understand that just because a referee used ipad does not mean that someone who plays steam game should get ipad instead of a PC

KondriX, 16 Sep 2023Most probably they'll lower antenna's power, but ... moreMaybe that's the case in rest of the world already.
iPhone 12 has connectivity issues,the issue maybe due
to software optimisation or antennas being of poor quality/calibration/software tuning.
I have Galaxy S22 Snapdragon version,My brother has iPhone 12.
We both use Same carrier SIM & even in same room S22 has robust 5G connection only dropping when overheats but on iPhone it's 5G Connection is not that stable,it drops to 4G quite frequently.

Luxor, 16 Sep 2023So, ip12 users has been living with radiation for years and... moreEvery phone has radiation.
Also this news smells fishy to me. I mean everyone knows the SAR level of every iPhone, and of every phone in general. iPhone 12 has been around for years.
Probably EU changed some regulations regarding SAR levels recently (make them more strict) and the iPhone 12 was probably just short outside those numbers. I am pretty sure is not like iPhone 12 has 50% higher SAR levels than other phones.
But haters will be haters. And immediately when they see some article about Apple, they start the hating comments (many times without even reading the article).

But good thing a... moreDidn't Apple manage to patch out the camera shaking in the 14 Pro even though people thought it was a hardware issue? Not everything is a hardware issue, especially since France hasn't said anything about this in the past 3 years (they would've caught on way sooner if this started when the phone launched), meaning it was likely a recent update that caused this.
I could be wrong and something may have worn out inside the phone or something, but I doubt that's the case.
