Apple is being taken to court over 'batterygate'.
A lawsuit alleges iPhone 7 devices were deliberately slowed down by a software update Up to 25 million iPhone owners could be in for a payout after a UK court gave the go-ahead for an £853 million ‘batterygate’ claim against Apple. The company is accused of slowing down the performance of older iPhones by a process known as ‘throttling’. Devices reported to have been affected include the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S 6S Plus, SE, 7 and 7 Plus.
He claims Apple introduced the tool to disguise the fact iPhone batteries were unable to cope with new iOS processing demands and that, rather than recall products or replace batteries, the company instead pushed users to download the software updates. Mr Gutmann also says Apple failed to sufficiently publicise its battery replacement service pricing of £25 plus return shipping, and that the company abused its dominant market position.
