The tests are carried out at a diagnostic lab that uses a liquid-filled mold simulating a human head and body with brain and muscle tissue. Devices transmit at maximum power for the six-minute test, the agency said on its website, acknowledging that the tests "do not reflect the most common use of a telephone." During calls, the phone only transmits half the time, when the user is speaking, and calls rarely last six minutes, the agency said. Mobile internet or video use lasts longer, but the phone "rarely transmits more than 10 percent of the time," it added. The regulator said the phones are analyzed both when they are near the body, like when they are held or inside the pocket, and when they are at a distance of five millimeters, such as in a bag. The limit when the phone is with a person is four watts per kilogram (W/kg), but the iPhone 12 was at 5.74 W/kg, the agency said. The phone did not break the threshold, however, when it was at a distance, it added. "The level is more than ten times lower than the level at which there would be a health risk," Barrot tweeted. "But the rule is the rule: Apple must comply." Meanwhile, the said radiation warning triggered concern across Europe, the news outlet reported. Belgium's state secretary for digitalization said he had asked the Big Tech firm to upgrade the iPhone 12 software across EU countries. Germany said it was in touch with French authorities to find a European Union-wide solution, while Italy was set to ask Apple to upgrade the software on iPhone 12s there, according to a government source in Rome. The Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure said it was also conducting its own investigation due in two weeks, and was in contact with the world's largest technology company as well as German and French authorities. The agency said it had received calls from concerned consumers. Cell phones have been labeled as "possible" carcinogens by the World Health Organization's cancer research arm, putting them in the same category as coffee, diesel fumes, and the pesticide Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT).

C'est sans doute à cause d'une mise à jour après sa sortie que l'iPhone 12 a dépassé le seuil autorisé. Et c'est une simple mise à jour qui permettra de le remettre en conformité. pic.twitter.com/eW2LhPcHAs
