It's been a few years since iPhone 6s users started noticing minor glitches and inconveniences in the form of sudden system crashes or overheating. Apple showed itself to be a relatively transparent company at the time and offered free battery replacements, which should at least temporarily calm the media and political storm that erupted around the technological giant's misconduct. A year later, however Apple he made a blunder for which he still suffers today. Due to faulty batteries, he modified the firmware in such a way that it artificially reduced performance and did not overload the battery unnecessarily. At that point, the consumer protection authorities got involved in the whole matter and it started to get bad.
It was 2016 when the protracted and somewhat inflated case "Batterygate", which in the eyes of European statesmen in particular is quite Apple sank. The company began artificially slowing down the phones due to faulty iPhone 6s batteries and somehow forgot to properly warn users about it. This resulted in months and years of constant sanctions, fines and legal battles that have dragged on to this day. At the same time, a conspiracy theory began to spread that slowing down iPhones would contribute to the early discontinuation of old models, which would motivate consumers to continue buying newer devices. Although it was, of course, stupid, PR Applu failed in this regard and fortunately the company partially ironed it out thanks to free repairs. Every affected user could therefore notchat replace the battery free of charge and possibly disable a system function that reduces performance.

Nevertheless, the storm has not yet passed and the European Consumer Protection Organization is back on its feet. Applu on its heels. It was quickly joined by several other companies, demanding that the tech giant pay up to 60 million to each affected user. euroSpecifically, this is a group Euroconsumers, which covers 5 European organizations that ensure proper consumer protection and cooperate with each other. The movement includes, for example, the Belgian Test Achats, Spanish OCU, Portuguese Deco-Proteste, the Italian AltroConsumo and for some strange reason also the Brazilian company Protest. Whether organizations will be able to win the fight with Goliath is a question, however, already in FrancI was Apple sentenced to pay 25 million euro because of the same problem with slowing down iPhones. We'll see where similar accusations go.
Absolutely pointless attack on Apple. Limiting performance is completely common even with laptops or cars. If this is to protect the end customer from destroying the device, I see no problem with it at all.
You're a fool. You're clapping. Appyou're like a trained baboon, even if you're being fucked in the ass by a sheep
You would probably want a lot, from the protectors of apples, everything Apple it will make them the right step, even if perhaps backwards
But if "Europe" won and gave AppIf you pay a hefty fine, Trump will ban Europe
Europe is a continent please.
Is this a joke or are you just a stupid, subjective sheep? I have Apple I like it a lot, but the sheep are stopping me from buying it because I don't want to be one of them. The only thing that slows down like this is the nine hundred dollar stuff. If you buy it now for the price iPhone If you have an Android phone (that's not Samsung), you definitely won't experience lag.
Even Samsung above 7 does not cut it
And what is the point of a fine? What will I get out of it, as a customer?
... maybe next time some company won't force you to buy a new phone by deliberately slowing it down?
Or maybe it will make your battery last longer 😉
Samsung doesn't cut corners :DDD Samsung also received a fine for slowing down.
that company won't stop doing it xd
I feel like you nailed it xD
