CBC News: Apple will pay $14.4 million to users of slow iPhones
Apple has agreed to pay Canadian iPhone users $14.4 million. This was reported by CBC News.
Journalists found out that the American corporation had resolved a controversial issue with Canadian residents who had previously accused the company of slowing down the iPhone. Apple has long reduced the performance of smartphones whose batteries were worn out.
According to the settlement agreement, each plaintiff will receive from 17.50 to 150 Canadian dollars, or from 1.2 to 10 thousand rubles. The payment amount will be determined depending on the circumstances. According to lawyers representing Apple users, the proposed settlement was fair, reasonable and the best solution to this issue.
In 2018, Apple admitted that it deliberately reduced the performance of iPhones with older batteries in order to extend battery life. The company apologized, gave users the opportunity to disable this feature and reduced prices for replacement batteries for iPhones.
Earlier, the European Commission (EC) imposed a fine of 1.8 billion euros on Apple for abusing its dominant position in the music services market. This is one of the largest fines paid to the EU by a technology company.
