French iPhones will no longer be sold with free EarPods, thanks to the reversal of a health law in favor of an environmental law. This will mark the end of the special packaging of Apple smartphones used only in France.
Since the iPhone 12, Apple has decided to stop providing a free pair of wired EarPods to every smartphone case . The company said this was done for environmental reasons, although some said the reason was to reduce costs and increase profits from the sale of accessories.
However, French law required all smartphones to be provided with free headphones. The reason for this is health concerns about near-brain radio frequency radiation.
It is considered potentially harmful for the brain to absorb radio frequency energy and phones emit more when used for telephone calls.
This issue has been discussed a lot, but most countries set limits on the radio frequency levels emitted by the phones so that companies can sell them in each market.
iPhones use the proximity sensor to detect when the phone is close to the head and reduce the radio frequency power to comply with legal limits.
However, France has gone further, arguing that users should be encouraged to use headphones to keep the phone away from their heads. “An accessory which allows head exposure to be restricted to radio emissions during communications. ” other countries. However, this changed with the reversal of the law at the end of last year, from a new law aimed at reducing environmental waste.
A new law aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of digital technology abolishes Apple will stop supplying the iPhone in the dual box that allowed it to add the headset to the classic package.
Apple seems to have notified resellers of this change, although has not yet updated its own website. In addition, Fnac has started warning its customers and so they learn that the headphones will be removed “from the week of January 24, 2022.
It will take some time to sell the existing stock, so if you want a free pair EarPods with your new iPhone, you have some time to buy one, if you live in France or on a trip.
