By Martin Goillandeau, Chris Liakos and Jennifer Korn | CNNApple is fighting France’s claims that the iPhone 12 surpasses European radiation exposure limits after French regulators on Tuesday ordered a pause on sales and a fix to phones already sold to customers.France’s National Frequency Agency said it “has demanded that Apple withdraw the iPhone 12 from the French market, effective 12 September 2023, as measures show the specific absorption rate exceeds the set limits.” The agency said the iPhone 12 is not compliant with European Union regulations.“Apple must immediately adopt all necessary measures to prevent the iPhone 12 in the supply chain from being made available on the market,” ANFR added.Disputing the agency’s claims, Apple said it had already given the agency multiple lab results conducted by the company and independent third parties that showed the device’s compliance with relevant SAR regulations and global standards.The company said it was contesting the AFNR’s review...

Democratic governor seizes commanding fundraising lead over GOP challenger in Kentucky campaign

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:15 GMT

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear has seized a commanding fundraising lead over Republican challenger Daniel Cameron in their marquee matchup in Kentucky, their latest campaign finance reports showed.Beshear — who is seeking a second term in a state that otherwise has become a GOP stronghold — accumulated about $15 million for the November election, while Cameron took in $2.8 million. Heading into the campaign’s stretch, Beshear had about three times more money in the bank.An influx of spending by conservative Republican groups has helped offset Cameron’s disadvantage, as partisan groups from both sides pour money into one of the nation’s most closely watched elections this year. Cameron is the state’s attorney general.The fundraising disparity reflects the governor’s advantage of incumbency and a widespread view that Cameron is the underdog, longtime Kentucky political commentator Al Cross said Wednesday.“Campaign finance is a betting ...
