To prevent the iPhone 12 from being banned in France, Apple is reportedly working to release a software update that is said to bring down the radiation levels to accommodate the request of French regulators. Before being officially released back in 2020, it was reported that Apple knew about this problem and instructed its employees to stay quiet about the whole thing. It does not appear that there will be any legal repercussions against the California-based giant this time.

I do wonder, why would France accept a software patch? The device is still capable of going over the limits and it could easily be reverted later?
Seems like an odd solution.
Software radios can do many things that are against the rules, the governing bodies only care about how they’re actually being used for the most part.
Also, the measurements are over time. It’s possible to exceed the total allowed in short bursts.
It has the potential but never will thanks to the software update. What’s the struggle here!?
