iPhone 12 will not be banned in France: Apple will release iOS 17.1 within 10 days, which will reduce the radio frequency radiation of the smartphone
The French National Radio Frequency Regulatory Agency (Agence nationale des frequences, ANFR) announced that Apple has committed to releasing the iOS 17.1 update, which will reduce the radio frequency emissions of the iPhone 12, by October 24.
“Following the recall of the iPhone 12 due to excessive specific absorption rates (SAR), Apple has committed to releasing the update in France. The patch will be available to all French users no later than October 24“, ANFR reported.
The agency also added that after the update, the specific absorption rate (SAR) will not exceed the country’s limit of 4 W/kg. Apple has already tested the beta version of iOS 17.1, which recorded a decrease in SAR; it remains to release the final version of the patch.
It became known recently that the iPhone 12 exceeds the radio frequency radiation standards adopted in France. French Digital Economy Minister Jean-Noël Barrault threatened to stop selling this model in the country if Apple does not correct the situation.

This ultra-cheap $75 smartphone offers a “premium” design and a 90Hz screen. Infinix Smart 8 HD unveiled

Infinix has announced the Smart 8 HD smartphone with a price of just $75. At the same time, the device is equipped much better than many smartphones priced at $100-120.
But it’s worth starting not even with this, but with design. As you can see, Infinix does not betray itself and even made an ultra-budget smartphone so that it stands out: the back cover seems to have a relief pattern. The company itself even uses the expression “premium design,” but this, of course, is on its conscience.
From a technical point of view, the device is not bad, and for such a price it is very good. It is based on the Unisoc T606 SoC, which scores about 240,000 points in AnTuTu 10. There is 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB of flash memory, a 13-megapixel main camera and a 5000 mAh battery. And the 6.6-inch screen with HD+ resolution also supports a frame rate of 90 Hz. In addition, there is an element that imitates the Dynamic Island of the iPhone.
It remains to add that the dimensions here are 164 x 75.6 x 8.5 mm with a weight of 184 g.

Asus published on Twitter the first image of its new gaming flagship ROG Phone 8. The picture shows the rear panel of the smartphone with a new camera unit: visually it is more compact than the camera unit of the current model, but at the same time it protrudes more beyond the body.
