However, Apple has issued instructions to its tech support staff to not share any information regarding the radiation issue. In fact, the company has asked its staffers to stick to the scripted response when they encounter any questions pertaining to the radiation. Moreover, France has already imposed a ban on the sales of iPhone 12 models and now the country is issuing statements to callback the device amid high radiation exposure worries. However, Apple has denied such allegations regarding the high electromagnetic radiation exposure, but the issue doesn’t seem to pause here. According to the report published by Bloomberg, the employees have been asked not to volunteer any information regarding the ongoing issue.

Employees have to say that their devices go through rigorous testing to maintain safety standards if customers want to know if their devices are safe to use, the report further states. According to France's digital minister the radiation levels of iPhone 12 were spotted to be greater than the EU standard, but still lower than what's deemed to be precarious. He added that a software update is required to fix the issue while expecting a response from Apple within two weeks. However, Apple has refuted the claims saying they would work with the French government and provide testimony to the fact that the handset complies with the EU regulations regarding radiation.
