French regulators said on Friday that they had approved Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 12 software update after they expressed concerns over rising radiation levels of the device.
They received the software update recently and reviewed it earlier this week.
Earlier this month, France's radiation watchdog Agence Nationale des Frequences, or ANFR, halted sales of iPhone 12 in the country after it found that the model exceeded the legal radiation levels.

The ANFR said it recently measured the specific absorption rates - or the amount of energy transported by electromagnetic waves and absorbed by the human body - of 141 phones including the iPhone 12, and found that the model exceeded the legal limit.
Cupertino, California-based Apple (AAPL) initially disagreed with the ANFR's findings, but said it would issue a software update to accommodate the testing methods used in the European country.
Apple shares rose 0.7% in pre-market trading on Friday.
