Several iPhone users recently filed a class action lawsuit against Apple claiming that the tech giant purposely impaired performance on older iPhone models. According to the iPhone class action lawsuit, Apple released updates designed to maintain performance in aging batteries, even though those updated would slow the phones down. As the iPhone batteries age, they reportedly degrade and provide less power. In order to ensure that older batteries provided the same usage time as a new battery, Apple allegedly released software updates to target the older iPhone devices. Although these updates were intended to improve performance, they allegedly caused older devices to have a slower processing time. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with Scott Hardy from Top Class Actions.
