Arizona is leading a multi-U.S. state probe into whether Apple Inc's deliberate slowing of older iPhones violated deceptive trade practice laws, documents reviewed by Reuters on Wednesday showed.

Last week, a separate document released by a tech watchdog group showed the Texas attorney general might sue Apple for such violations in connection with a multi-state probe, without specifying charges. The attorneys general offices in Arizona and Texas declined to comment. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Apple later acknowledged that it reduced power demands - which can slow the processor - when an aging phone’s battery struggles to supply the peak current the processor demands. Apple said without its adjustments, iPhones would have unexpectedly shut down from power spikes.
