Apple faces R37-billion lawsuit for ‘throttling’ iPhones
a London tribunal to block a US$2-billion mass lawsuit accusing it of hiding defective batteries in millions of iPhones by “throttling” them with software updates.
The company also says its power management update – introduced in 2017 to manage demands on older batteries or with a low level of charge – only reduced an iPhone 6’s performance by an average of 10%. His lawyer, Philip Moser, referred to Apple’s 2020 agreements to settle a US class action and regulatory action by US states over iPhone battery issues as showing Apple was not “saying this never happened”.Apple had also committed to be “clearer and more upfront” with iPhone users about battery health to Britain’s competition watchdog in 2019, Moser said.
