| Apple claims to slow down the performance of old iPhone phones |
A wave of discontent in the social media interacted with the news that Apple modified the frequency of the processor of iPhone phones when the battery is old to protect it from a sudden stop, did not inform the company that it apologized for and gave a discount on the value of new batteries, some went to sue the company.
Several lawsuits have been filed in the United States, whose owners say they have upgraded and bought a new iPhone after the old phone has become slow.
According to Apple's words, the processor's frequency delay includes iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus and SE phones.
Some asked Apple to be more transparent when sending updates to the operating system to show in the description of the update that it involves slowing the phone to keep the battery and operating time longer.
But what actually happens is that Apple writes "fix problems" on many of the changes it makes and does not disclose them explicitly, otherwise users would not have implemented those new updates and kept their phones running fast, even though it consumes the battery more quickly.
Apple also faces a lawsuit in France from a group struggling with what companies call a shortening of the product life cycle to increase its replacement rate. The company claims a fine of up to $ 300,000 and 5 percent of the company's annual income
