The technology giant Apple faces a new scandal over accusations of planned obsolescence of its equipment. The Italian consumer association Altroconsumo filed a class action lawsuit against the company for 60 million euros (about 1,400 million Mexican pesos ). This seeks to compensate iPhone 6 users who were affected by a mandatory update .

According to Altroconsumo , the lawsuit covers the owners of iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S and 6S Plus equipment . The update resulted in a drop in performance for those models, for which Apple apologized and offered to replace the batteries at a reduced price . In other words, in the end, consumers had to pay an extra to the company to remedy the damage caused by it.
