Workers at Apple stores in France have gone on strike, with around 2,100 employees demanding higher pay and an end to a hiring freeze. The strike coincided with the release of Apple's latest phone, the iPhone 15, in France. French labor unions are seeking a 7% pay increase for all Apple store employees, citing rising inflation. Apple offered a 4.5% increase, which was rejected by the unions. The strike comes after Apple was forced to stop selling the iPhone 12 in France due to radiation levels above EU safety limits. The unions also believe employees should receive a larger share of Apple's profits.
