The iPhone ‘batterygate’ controversy, in which Apple was caught slowing down older iPhone models with degraded batteries, has almost reached its conclusion. According to the 34 states and the District of Columbia investigating this issue, it was found that Apple was ‘misleading information’ about iOS updates and was throttling the performance of previous iPhone models without the owner’s consent. As a result, Apple has agreed to pay a settlement of $113 million.
In addition to the $113 million, Apple is required to clarify its practices around battery health and power management. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said the following statement on how companies should maintain transparency with its customers.
