It definitely looks like Apple throttling the performance of older iPhones in a bid to retain satisfactory battery life will continue to haunt it as the tech giant has been slammed with another class action lawsuit. A group of 18 people have filed the lawsuit this week in a Northern California federal court, accusing the company of ‘secretly’ throttling its older iPhone lineup. In case you don’t remember, Apple admitted to slowing down older iPhones in an attempt to provide optimum battery life, but that plan backfired immensely, probably because the company hid from its customers that it was slowing down your device.
According to the complaint, which was spotted by MacRumors, Apple intentionally degraded devices as part of its planned obsolescence to obtain more profits. This would suggest that a lot of customers would end up upgrading to a newer model to experience the best performance and improved battery life.
