SAN FRANCISCO: Apple has agreed to pay up to US$500 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over claims it covertly slowed older iPhones to get users to upgrade.
Critics accused Apple of surreptitiously forcing users to buy phones sooner than necessary, and the outcry forced Apple to upgrade its software and offer steep discounts on battery replacements. Lawyers behind the suit want to pocket US$93 million of the settlement money plus another US$1.5 million or so for out-of-pocket expenses, legal documents indicated.
