If you have forgotten already, Apple admitted to pushing out an update to throttle the performance on older iPhones to preserve battery life back in 2017. The revelation did not sit well with the consumers, as well as governments, across the world. It is termed as ‘Batterygate’ and sits alongside other big Apple blunders, such as bendgate.
Apple has agreed to a settlement outside of court and does not admit to any of these alleged wrongdoings. The $113 million settlement pool can be divided among all 34 states however they deem necessary. As for the users, the Cupertino giant has already updated iOS to offer new Battery Health features and let users disable throttling at the expense of battery life.
