Apple new penalty for slowing down iPhones?

You probably still remember that at the end of 2017, Apple publicly apologized for intentionally slowing down the performance of older iPhone models, which of course surprised their loyal users. It is about slowing down the iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 6S, iPhone 7 and iPhone SE phones, namely when their batteries were either exhausted or almost empty. Due to many angry users, Apple decided to provide a cheaper battery replacement.

The court of the United Kingdom, which, among other things, also deals with market competition, initiated an investigation against the computer giant because of this event, as the company Apple allegedly violated several legal provisions regarding legal business. At the time, it was not surprising that the court immediately approved the initiation of a class action against the American company. 

If the class-action lawsuit against Apple is successful, the computer giant could face a hefty fine. This could amount to an estimated 1.83 billion euros. This means that the penalty in the United Kingdom could be much higher than the one that befell the company in the United States of America. There is indeedč Apple had to pay a total compensation of 470 million euros.
