PARIS, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Apple must stop selling its iPhone 12 model in France due to above-threshold radiation levels, France's junior minister for the digital economy told newspaper Le Parisien in an interview published on Tuesday.

France's radiation watchdog ANFR notified Apple of its decision to ban iPhone 12 sales after it had carried out tests which showed the smartphone's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) was slightly higher than legally allowed, Jean-Noel Barrot told the paper.

Apple did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment.

I don't believe the French "government gives a shit about the French people getting nuked by their phones. The spoiled brats want to keep using theirs, or some head of some government agency didn't get some board of director appointment with the cartel. The other government monarchs better watch out. If the apple jews want to crush them all the jews will.
