Apple Oops
More stories from Marcus Lee
We all know that all companies can be corrupt. Thus, it is not surprising to see this coming through Apple ©. Everyone before this has complained about slower phones prevalent throughout the older models of the iPhone, and it was just a theory that Apple purposefully slowed the older models down to persuade users to buy newer models. Well, after a class-action lawsuit was filed, Apple finally came out and admitted to the slowdown of the older mobile devices via software updates built into the phone that happened occasionally. Thus, Apple agreed to pay 25 dollars per impacted device, leading to a max grand total of 5 million. They also agreed to battery replacements at 79$ each. So next time you see a software update, think about if it might slow it down (impacts IOS devices 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus or SE. For a limited time, devices bought before Dec 21, 2017, may be brought in to be paid the compensation amount).
