Apple continues to pay $ 113 million in compensation, for squeezing the performance of the old iPhones

Apple doesn’t apologize often, but doing so is a big deal. As in 2017, when users discovered that Apple had silently reduced the performance of old iPhones.

Apple apologized and explained that the action was intended to help protect the battery and avoid the reboot error. Apple also offers to replace the battery for the user with a preferential price of 29 USD. But there are still many class action lawsuits after that. Earlier this year, Apple agreed to pay $ 500 million in compensation for a US user class action lawsuit.

Today, Apple continues to accept a second compensation worth $ 113 million. Attorney General of 34 US states sued Apple for hiding and modifying the performance of old iPhones. The argument is that by reducing the performance of old iPhones, Apple can profit from users wanting to upgrade to new iPhones, while they only need to replace the batteries.

Of course, Apple still denies this allegation, asserting that its actions have only one purpose to help protect the old battery of users.

With the lawsuit earlier this year, US users can file a claim for compensation. Apple has to pay a minimum of $ 310 million and could rise to $ 500 million if the number of complaints increases.
