South Korea's Ministry of Science, Technology, Information and Communications said on the 17th that it had asked Apple to submit a report on the radiation issues of the iPhone 12 model. Previously, it was revealed that the iPhone 12 model had been stopped from sale in the French market because its electromagnetic radiation value exceeded EU standards.

According to the report, South Korea's Ministry of Science, Technology, Information and Communications explained in a press release issued on the same day that "the models currently sold in the Korean market, including iPhone 12, comply with international standards related to electromagnetic wave safety and have passed conformity assessment certification." However, in order to eliminate national uneasiness, South Korea's Ministry of Science, Technology and Information still decided to require Apple to explain the relevant situation in accordance with relevant laws.
"In the future, we will ensure precise verification of the four iPhone12 models (iPhone12, iPhone12Pro, iPhone12Mini, iPhone12ProMax)." South Korea's Ministry of Science, Technology, Information and Communications stated that if the re-verification results show that the electromagnetic radiation value exceeds normal standards, the Ministry of Science and Technology will order Apple to make corrections and make a decision to stop importing and selling iPhone 12.

Previously, according to foreign media reports on September 13, when Apple released the new generation iPhone 15, the French government announced that the iPhone 12 could not be sold in the country on the grounds that the iPhone 12 exceeded the legal range of local radio frequency exposure. According to news on September 14, Apple responded to accusations that iPhone 12 radiation exceeded standards, stating that the iPhone 12 model has passed certifications from multiple international agencies and fully complies with international radiation standards. Agence France-Presse reported on the 15th that an Apple spokesperson said in a statement that it would release a software update for the iPhone 12 in France to make it comply with the standards implemented by French regulators, and looked forward to the phone continuing to be sold in France.
According to a report by Dutch "DutchNews.nl" on the 14th, the Dutch telecommunications regulator also called on the American technology giant Apple to clarify the radiation situation of its iPhone 12 models.
