Apple will have to pay $ 113 million in compensation for slowing down the old iPhone via iOS update



Recall that in 2017, Apple deliberately reduced the speed of their mobile phones without informing their iPhone users, and officially acknowledged that this was done.


However, Apple claims that the lower the battery life of the iPhone, the better the throttle of the CPU, which allows the user to continue using the old battery.


However, from a user's point of view, it seems that Apple has been secretly slowing down the old iPhone through software updates, which has led many older iPhone users to gradually buy a new iPhone.

However, after this situation was revealed, Apple took action to provide a setting to control it, and also offered a special discount on the battery replacement, which made it possible to do it for $ 29

But many have filed lawsuits, and earlier this year Apple was ordered by a court to pay users about $ 500 million in damages.

Apple Corps has filed a lawsuit against 34 other states in the United States, seeking $ 113 million in damages.

The court ruled that Apple was trying to increase its revenue by misleading the user by trying to throttle the speed of its users' mobile phones and reducing the battery life.

The main reason for paying this compensation is to persuade the user to buy a new mobile phone, especially to direct the user to replace the battery or to hide the information without showing it.
