Apple sued for slowing down older iPhones

The first lawsuit was filed in California and requests that Apple stop reducing the processor speed of affected devices and pay compensation to affected customers.

The Chicago Sun Times reported another case in which citizens in Ohio, Indiana, and North Carolina are suing Apple on behalf of customers who own iPhone 5, 6 and 7 devices.

The complainants allege that Apple was “deceptive, immoral, and unethical” because the technology was designed to “purposefully slow down or ‘throttle down’ the performance speeds” of the iPhones.

…Apple has now admitted that the slowing of the phone’s central processing unit (CPU) does take place.
