The Apple company has been fined nearly $27 million for deliberately slowing down its old model.
DGCCCRF, a consumer rights and fraud prevention organization in France, said in favor of its customers that Apple made the old phone deliberate and that consumers did not realize it, nor did the company had warned them about it.
In 2017, Apple also admitted that it had slowed down some of the model’s iPhones and cited the reason, saying, ‘this extends the life or life of the device’. The French government has settled matters with the organization.
Some consumers have suspected that Apple intentionally slows down the phone so that people buy new models every year.
In 2017, Apple also said that it didn’t force users to upgrade or buy a new phone. Apple contends that some of its model batteries become weak over time and fail to utilize the smartphone efficiently.
This results in the phone being switched off several times to protect its remaining system. Some users reported that the iPhone 6S’s speed slowed down, but as the battery charged, the phone performance again accelerated.
However, the French government said that users who bought the iPhone were not told that installing more software updates would slow down the phone as well.
