France's radiation watchdog has leaked the impending release of iOS 17.1 by October 24, with fixes that will end the iPhone 12 radio frequency exposure controversy and potential recall threat.

As noted byiPhoneSoft,

the Agence Nationale Des Frequences (ANFR) in France shared an update on its website today about the iPhone 12 situation that says iOS 17.1 will become available "no later than October 24."

The update addresses the confusion surrounding France's insistence that the iPhone 12 reportedly exceeds the country's legal limit for radio frequency exposure.

While Apple no longer sells the iPhone 12, France threatened to recall the model over health concerns. While Apple denied France's allegations concerning radiation exposure in the iPhone 12, and provided documentation from international testing, it promised to address the issue with an update.

Apple released a support document detailing how France's testing methodology differed from international standards. The document also spells out that the power reduction in iOS 17.1 is only happening to customers in France.

    What did Apple do to tick France off do much and make them (the French) do seemingly weird things?

    What is weird about informing consumers?

    They don’t have the right to leak information. And you don’t think it’s weird that they intended to force a recall on a single iPhone product?

    It's false testing and bad science, that is not informing, that is ignorance, hyperbole, conspiracy theory, or straight out lying!

    The fact that AI says it's a 'leak' doesn't make it a 'leak'. When you deal with regulations it becomes public information that Apple has consented to, nothing weird about that.
    It's also not weird that they might force a recall on a single iPhone, as they have done this with a singular Samsung model as well. They may test other iPhones/phones as well now, if they haven't already done that.
