Apple disputed the claims, and said on Wednesday its iPhone 12 model was certified by multiple international bodies as compliant with global radiation regulations and standards after a France ordered it to stop selling the phones due to above-threshold radiation levels.
Apple said it had provided ANFR multiple Apple and independent third-party lab results proving its compliance.
