Patrik Siwek Quite a lot has already been written about the case concerning the slowdown of older iPhones. It started in December and since then the whole case has been growing until one wonders how far it will all go and especially where it will end. Currently, Apple is facing almost thirty lawsuits worldwide (most of them are logically in the USA). Outside the United States, legal action has also been taken by users in Israel and France. However, it is France that is different compared to other countries, because Apple got into an unpleasant situation here due to local consumer protection laws.

Dan Pražák French law expressly prohibits the sale of products that contain internal parts that cause a premature shortening of the life of the device. In addition, conduct that causes the same is also prohibited. And that's exactly what Apple was supposed to be guilty of in the case of reducing the performance of its older iPhones based on the wear of their batteries.

David Hanak Following a complaint from an end-of-life association, an official investigation was launched last Friday by the local equivalent of the Consumer Protection and Fraud Office (DGCCRF). According to French law, similar misdemeanors are punishable by high fines, and in more serious cases, even imprisonment.

In this case, this is the most serious problem that Apple is facing with regard to this case. As far as this case is concerned, it will definitely not be anything short. No further information about the investigation or the possible duration of the entire process has yet appeared on the website. It will be interesting to see how the whole case, given the French laws, eventually develops.

After all, it's not about slowing down older iPhones, it's about slowing down iPhones with an older/worn battery installed.
This, on the other hand, extends the life of the device.
Whoa! ?
I just agree that the system should inform the user that the battery is running low, and therefore more demanding operations will slow down.
Otherwise, the setting is correct.
My 6-year-old iPhone didn't slow down, and that's why (probably due to unstable power) it could turn off.
That was the reason for buying a new one.
If it just slowed down at that point, it wouldn't matter so much, and I'd probably still be using it today.
So I agree that it can be well thought out. However, once the user sees it and can choose his own settings at his own risk, it will be a great feature that the competition does not have.
