A class action lawsuit has been filed against Apple following the company's admission that it has been slowing down older iPhones to prevent unexpected shutdowns as their battery degrades.
TMZ reports on the lawsuit:
A new class action suit has been filed by Stefan Bogdanovich, an L.A. man who, like millions of other people, uses an iPhone ... but not an iPhone 8. He claims Apple's tactic of slowing down older iPhone models causes users to suffer -- specifically those with the 7 or 7s -- and take a hit to their wallets.
Bogdanovich believes that the slowdown is a ploy by Apple to get users to upgrade devices. Others believe the company is covering up an iPhone 6s design flaw. Whether or not any of these claims are true, Apple didn't disclose what it was doing to users and thus we're likely to see more of these lawsuits in the near future.
