APPLE IS BEING SUED IN NO FEWER THAN THREE FEDERAL COURTS AFTER THE COMPANY ADMITTED THIS WEEK TO INTENTIONALLY SLOWING DOWN OLDER MODEL IPHONES.
Attorneys filed class action complaints in federal courthouses in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco on Thursday following revelations involving Apple’s newly disclosed practice of releasing iOS operating system updates that slow down iPhones with older batteries.

Apple acknowledged the practice earlier this week, spurring lawsuits brought on behalf of iPhone customer who claim they’ve been duped into buying new devices.

“Lithium-ion batteries become less capable of supplying peak current demands when in cold conditions, have a low battery charge or as they age over time, which can result in the device unexpectedly shutting down to protect its electronic components,” Apple said Wednesday.

“Last year we released a feature for iPhone 6, iPhone 6s and iPhone SE to smooth out the instantaneous peaks only when needed to prevent the device from unexpectedly shutting down during these conditions. We’ve now extended that feature to iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2, and plan to add support for other products in the future,” Apple explained in a statement.

Apple users with slower iPhones can increase performance by replacing their old batteries with a fresh one, but customers allege the company’s lack of transparency on the topic prompted them to purchase new, expensive devices when they didn’t have to.

In Chicago, attorneys for five iPhone owners said potentially tens of thousands of similarly situated Apple customers purchased phones when they didn’t need to on account of the company’s “fraudulent scheme.”


“Apple’s iOS updates purposefully neglected to explain that its purposeful throttling down of older model devices and resulting lost or diminished operating performance could be remedied by replacing the batteries of these devices,” they alleged in the lawsuit. “Instead, Apple’s decision to purposefully slowdown or throttle down these devices was undertaken to fraudulently induce consumers to purchase the latest iPhone versions of the iPhone 7, as well as new phones such as the iPhone 8 and iPhone X.”

A similar lawsuit filed in Los Angeles federal court argued Apple breached an “implied contract” with its customers, and another filed in San Francisco accused of Apple of deliberately misleading iPhone owners.

Apple had it coming...

I haven’t experienced any slowdown of apps on my 7 Plus, but I’m still keeping my fingers crossed. Just had the new update 11.2.1 few days back.

7 plus is just last year bro, my 5s became unusable after updating to iOS 10 I had to reset it and sell. People with iPhone 6 are ready starting to experience the slow.

But on another note, the guys at everythingapplepro carreid out a research and found out that once ur battery starts to lose charge ur iPhone slows down in other to sustain ur battery life. Like on the iPhone 6 when battery starts degrading, the phone shuts down around 20-30% and apple fixed that by throttling older devices so they can stay longer but device will be slow. So it's worth nothing that once ur device starts slowing down u might want to change ur battery.

Android all the way.

Admitting to slowing down older models of their phones does not necessarily mean it was done with malicious intent

Will it reduce the price of fuel?

Unbelievable !!! So this is what has been happening to my IPhone 5s after upgrading to IOs 10.1. THE phone start shutting down when the battery reaches 30% or so. I can't even on my data again to enjoy the damn phone cuz it will shut down immediately. I changed my battery ; 3weeks later the problem start again. I gotta upgrade to Iphone 7 to have peace of mind. Apple have duped me.

Nice.. Let's sue them for slowing NwaAmaipke's brain..

So apple is doing it intentionally,and here I was thinking my phone had a problem,they want to force me to buy the new iPhones.

Nah,i would rather buy Samsung galaxy.

I hate Apple at the same time I love it still. Bought my iPhone 6s for 308k last year August, before December dey don release 7 and 7plus, this year 8 and IPhone X. Haba! And the price is outrageous. What do you expect people with older models to do? Throw it away? So my 308k go enter voicemail like that? Lai lai! I’m suing them in federal high court Nigeria

I understand your plight bro.

I use iOS 11.2.1 on my iPhone 7 and it isn’t slowing down here oooo.. Are you guys sure it’s not China you are using?

If you don't reside in a country where Apple has outlets and plans in purchasing their phones, you are basically wasting money.

For the Nigerian environment, android, blackberry and perhaps windows mobile is the best.

You probably used updated via OTA? Try restoring the os via iTunes and setup as new, you will need at least 2.5gb of data shaa..but it will bring back your phone to a much fluid experience..

My iPhone5s is not slow but stopped working had to port to Iphone6
