Dan Pražák As soon as the current "affair" regarding the slowing down of iPhones began to be resolved on the web, it was expected that it would not go without some kind of judicial response. It must have been clear to everyone that at least someone in the United States would catch on. As it seems, they were only waiting for an official statement from Apple, which essentially confirmed this slowdown. It didn't take too long for the first class action lawsuits to appear challenging Apple's move and demanding some form of compensation from Apple. At the time of writing, there are two lawsuits and more are expected to follow.

David Hanak The United States is a land of limitless possibilities. Especially in the case when a private person decides to sue a corporation with a vision of personal enrichment (no wonder, quite a few people in the US have become millionaires this way). In the past twenty-four hours, two class-action lawsuits have emerged seeking damages from Apple for slowing down older phones without any notice.

The first lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles, and the victim argues that Apple's actions are artificially reducing the value of the "affected" product. Another class action comes from Illinois, but it involved significantly more people from different US states. The lawsuit accuses Apple of fraudulent, immoral and unethical conduct by issuing iOS revisions that degrade performance on phones with dead batteries. According to that lawsuit, "Apple is purposefully slowing down older devices and reducing their performance." According to the plaintiffs, this action is illegal and violates consumer protection rights. None of the lawsuits specified the form or amount of compensation. It will be interesting to see how these cases develop further and how the American judicial system will deal with them. Support from affected users is likely to be huge.

I think they will release an update where it can be deactivated in the settings and there will be peace.
I strongly hope that the EU will catch on, Apple will lose and pay fines in the order of tens of billions of dollars. To me, this seems worse than some dieselgate where VW gave customers better cars at the price of worse emissions, as most would like anyway. It completely destroyed my iPhone 6, I wanted to last another year with it, but I had to switch to 7 because of my nerves, it runs fine.
Because you suck. I buy a kind of flashlight and the phone keeps going
The battery lasted me the whole day and I don't need more from it. How was I supposed to know that the old battery was slowing down the operation?
If the phone was under warranty, Apple offered to exchange it for a new one. And I think they would replace a person for free even some time after the warranty.
I own 2 iphones, I have not noticed any slowdown on either of them. I install the update immediately after release. One 6s in the AnTuTu benchmark at the top is mine. Personally, I don't think it's a bad idea, just hard-wired into the users. In my opinion, there should be a menu somewhere in the menu where the user can turn it on/off and nobody would have to deal with anything.
But why would anyone choose anything? The phone should report "bad battery" when the battery is at the end of its life.
And what if he reported it after 2 years about the whole device? After the service life, buy a new one.
If the state of the key components corresponded to this, he should report it. But of course it's nonsense in this case.

I think Apple has handled it well. They will certainly come out with a study that shows that if the battery is at the limit of its useful life, further use may lead to the destruction of the battery and a possible explosion or fire. The device may also be destroyed, because each battery has its lifetime and at the end of its life, the parameters and properties of the battery change. So it is actually for the good of the customer…

Is it even possible to buy truly original batteries?
I always had to buy a clone of some sort and it wasn't always fully functional.
Rather, the whole thing seems to me like Apple's pressure on the user to buy a new iPhone, which will run at full capacity for another two years.

On the contrary... Apple is going for long-term use. Otherwise, the battery would fail after those 2 years, as is the case with other manufacturers. If it reduces the performance, on the contrary, the device will serve the user longer and the phone will not turn off under load (Which then causes more user dissatisfaction than the reduction in performance and forces the user to upgrade to a newer model)... In addition, I read somewhere that if this happens As part of the warranty, Apple will of course replace the battery with a new one.
I had my previous iPhone for 6 years.
During that time, others have exchanged several Andoi people.
I agree, I usually have one iPhone model for three years. Compared to Android phones, the iPhone is "no waste green", only the battery needs to be replaced.
I change the battery after about two years. As I wrote above, the original battery cannot be found. They also told me in the service that they also use some clones.
Does anyone know of a battery source/brand that always works? I've bought batteries several times before that had all kinds of problems.
Still to slow down. It really seems to me (subjectively, not based on measurements) that both iPhone and iPad become slower with each new software version. This was most noticeable when switching from IOS6 to IOS7 on the iPhone4. It seems similar to me with the iPad 3.
In my opinion, it is logical that when a device has a battery that is unable to deliver increased current due to increased internal resistance, e.g. at 35% charge, the manufacturer reacts to this with software that limits the device's consumption.
The problem would be if it limited the consumption even after inserting a new battery.
Apple will most likely not be sentenced to anything, or the reaction will be such that the EU will force other manufacturers to modify their software as well.
"I think it's logical" those are your words but apparently you lack logic, because according to any normal person it's logical to replace the battery with a new one and not slow down the functions of the phone.
And it is logical that Apple committed a fraud on its customers.

Instead of being happy that the old battery does not turn off their phone when they need to use the phone, they will still beg for money.
This is a classic pig from Apple. I hope they get a hefty fine.
