Apple Admits Slowing Down Its Older iPhones: Technology Articles Revealed

The technology giant has gotten itself into trouble by admitting that it slows down the performance of older iPhones. It says that the older batteries can’t match the top speed of the processor and cause an abrupt shutdown of the machine.

Two Lawsuits have been filed against Apple for breaking the consumer policy and practicing immoral, fraudulent and foul approaches to deceive the customers.

 

The First Lawsuit Against Apple

Sourced from many articles on technology, Apple has been sued for slowing down the speed of the processors. Complainants have demanded compensation for the affected customers in the lawsuit filed in California.

Apple has allegedly reduced the processor speed of iPhone6, 6s and 7 models with a clarification that it will save the phone from an unexpected shutdown and protect from damaging the internal electronic components of the phone.

The Second Law Suit Against Apple

A citizen of North Carolina has filed a complaint against Apple and seeks compensation against their alleged scheme. It says that Apple has violated the laws of consumer protection by immoral, unethical and deceptive business practices.

Apple’s Say

Apple defended the allegations and stressed upon their concern for providing quality services to the customers. They are of the view that they released the software update to fix the shutdown problem of the iPhones.

The iPhones abruptly shut down if the battery does not provide the sufficient current to the processor at the top processing speed. They claim that they released the software fix to slow down the performance of the processor so that the mobiles don’t shut down and their machines remain safe from any damage.

This problem was associated with the older iPhone models. Many articles on technology related issues are highlighting this alleged scam and it is spreading to harm the reputation of Apple.

Perception

The complainants are claiming that their older iPhones slow down whenever Apple is about to launch its new models. They call it a foul business practice which compels the consumers to buy their new models. However, Apple is contradicting the perception and claiming that the release of the software fix is not carrying a malicious intent of creating the urge to buy their new models.

What’s Ahead?

Since the matter is under judicial consideration and the court will decide the fate of the well-established brand, the talk of the town will hurt the sale of Apple’s newly launched iPhone-X and its future models.
