Apple Battles $2 Billion Lawsuit in UK

Apple is facing a USD 2 billion lawsuit in London for throttling millions of iPhone models.

The lawsuit claims that Apple deliberately slowed down the performance of older iPhones.

This was allegedly done to compensate for battery issues, without users' consent or knowledge.

The lawsuit covers iPhone models from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 7 Plus.

It is estimated that around 5.3 million people in the UK could be eligible to join the lawsuit.

If the lawsuit is successful, affected iPhone users could receive up to £500 in compensation.

This is not the first time that Apple has faced legal action over battery issues and performance throttling.

In 2020, Apple agreed to pay up to $500 million in the US to settle similar lawsuits.
