Apple sued for $217M in EU for 'planned' slowing down of iPhones
Apple is facing lawsuits in European countries seeking $217 million for the "planned" slowing down of older iPhone 6 devices. "Apple pushed updates to mask problems with the battery, knowing it would slow down phones," Els Bruggeman, Euroconsumers' head of policy and enforcement claimed. A similar lawsuit was filed in US where Apple agreed to pay $113 million in settlement.
