Apple is being threatened with a recall of the iPhone 12 in France due to excessive electromagnetic radiation, the company now has two weeks to respond.
“If they don’t, I’m prepared to order a recall for all iPhone 12s in circulation. The rule is the same for everyone, including the digital giants,” warned the minister responsible for the digital economy, Jean-Noel Barrot. France will make the test results available to the rest of the European Union.
