Apple faces 23 lawsuits for slowing down older iPhones

Apple has not managed to end the year with the image of the company to which we are accustomed, quite the opposite. The problem with the slowdown of older iPhones whose battery is not 100% has caused not only image problems, but a large number of lawsuits, Demands that not only come from the United States, but are arriving at Apple offices from all over the world, starting with France, continuing with Israel and ending with South Korea. Despite the fact that Apple tried to save the ballot by reducing the price of the battery replacement, leaving it at 29 euros, this has not been reason enough for many users and at the moment the demands continue to add up.

Having hidden the function that iOS 10.2.1 offered us, a function that reduced the operation of the terminal to make the most of the battery and thus prevent the terminal from turning off unexpectedly, officially opened the doors to the famous planned obsolescence, an obsolescence with which the manufacturer wants to force the user to renew their device for a more modern one, because their terminal has begun to show irrecoverable signs of fatigue, signs that in the case of the iPhone were not due to anything other than off to the reduction of the power of the terminal by Apple.

The lawsuits facing Apple demand compensation for all iPhone users who have experienced slowdowns on their devices, free battery replacements also additional information when iOS considers that the operation of the terminal should be slowed down to optimize battery performance. We can also find lawsuits from some people demanding compensation of 1 million dollars for the damages that Apple has caused in their day to day. For now, and as we all know, Apple's only move so far, apart from apologizing for not having previously reported, is to offer the battery change of the affected devices from the iPhone 6, for 29 euros, 69 euros cheaper than the usual rate.
