It's not Apple's job to determine if there's a problem with that and regulations on this issue are, so far as I'm aware, treated very seriously.

Sorry - I can clarify a little. If it complies with regulations, Apple is definitely not at fault.

I was just replying to the above comment which could read “a little noise from a single device isn’t a big deal.”

It is definitely up to regulators to decide what is acceptable, and up to Apple to meet those regulations. It’s still a little unclear from the OP whether or not the spurious emissions meet transmission requirements, but it definitely a good place to do further lab tests for compliance.

We're talking "little" as in "need a powerful microscope to see it", not "small".
Maybe! Seems a little unlikely that Apple could fly something like that under the radar, not for very long, but mistakes happen.

Do bodies like the FCC independently verify compliance?
