Apple previously faced lawsuits in France and the US for slowing down older iPhones via software updates.

Apple is in trouble again for slowing down older iPhones. Having already paid separate fines of 25 million euros in France and 500 million dollars in the US, Apple may now face a similar lawsuit in the UK. Apple's appeal against a lawsuit filed by a British citizen in the UK was rejected.
IPHONE 6S, WHICH NO LONGER RECEIVES NEW UPDATES, IS THE SUBJECT OF THE LAWSUIT
In the process reported by Reuters, figures around 2 billion dollars are currently being discussed.
Apple is accused here of deliberately reducing the performance of devices to hide defective batteries in millions of iPhones.
Apple, which acknowledged that there was an issue stemming from the batteries in iPhone 6s models, offered free battery replacements to users.
Although Apple maintains that it did not intentionally slow down the phones, the legal process is ongoing, and the outcome continues to be a matter of curiosity.
