After the mainland, Apple is adjusting the iPhone 12 for overseas. A fix has been deployed to resolve a wave emission overflow. A return to normal which allows the trade ban in overseas territories to be lifted.
This time, everything is back to normal throughout the national territory. In a press release published on December 15, 2023, the national frequency agency (ANFR) announced the repeal of the ban on the sale of the iPhone 12 in France as of today. An announcement which coincides with the compliance of Apple’s smartphone in overseas territories.
“ A first update had already been released on October 25, 2023 including a fix for mainland France », recalls the ANFR. This time, the agency “ takes note of the update by the Apple company of the iPhone 12 mobile phone in the overseas departments “. This covers Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyana, Réunion, Mayotte and Saint-Martin.
iOS 17.2 includes the patch for overseas France
The patch concerning overseas France was integrated with the iOS 17.2 update, available for download since December 11. Regarding mainland France, the fix was delivered with iOS 17.1. These two new versions also contain other additions for the iPhone operating system. The release of iOS 17 dates back to September.
The commercial interruption of the iPhone 12 follows a wave emission measurement which did not satisfy the ANFR protocol. The affair had taken on unusual proportions. However, it appeared that the concern was above all a divergence of opinion on how to measure the waves. Apple actually uses a tool that the ANFR does not take into account.
