French regulators say their testing shows the iPhone 12 emits levels of electromagnetic radiation which are too high. Australia's regulator says it's looking into France's decision, but sees no evidence the phone is non-compliant with Australia's standards.

The country's National Frequency Agency has ordered Apple to withdraw iPhone 12s from the market, saying testing has found it produced too much radiation.

France's Digital Affairs Minister Jean-Noel Barrot says the testing results came back with exposure levels that were higher than the European Union standard [[of 4 watts per kilogram]]. Still, Germany's network regulator has since said it might launch similar proceedings, and is in close contact with French authorities, while a Spanish consumer's group has urged authorities to halt sales of the phone in Spain.Australia and France both abide by the same international standards - but experts say there's no reason for Australians who own an iPhone 12 to be worried.
