Apple paid $500 million to settle a separate lawsuit in the U.S. claiming it intentionally slowed down older iPhones.
Apple’s request to throw out a mass lawsuit over the accusation that the company used subpar iPhone batteries was rejected by a UK judge Wednesday. The lawsuit claims Apple used updates to slow down the functionality of the iPhone operating systems to hide the defective batteries. Apple says the lawsuit is “baseless” and holds no merit, claiming that in contrast to the allegations that millions of iPhones were affected, only a small number of iPhone 6 models had defective batteries.
It’s alleged that Apple allegedly misled consumers by not providing them with the supposed quality product they paid for and could result in damages of up to $2 billion. An Apple spokesperson reiterated in a statement to Reuters that the lawsuit’s claims are untrue. “We have never — and would never — do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades,” the spokesperson said.
