Apple allegedly concealed iPhone battery issues
Apple allegedly concealed iPhone battery issues, according to court papers filed in a group action lawsuit against the tech-giant.
It’s alleged that Apple failed – or neglected – to inform owners that there was a fault with the iPhone 6 model battery, and that it could be resolved with a new battery as opposed to a new handset.
With the likes of Samsung being sued for exploding batteries, and Apple having already admitted that older handsets slowdown with software updates, this latest battery scandal is one in a long line of issues people seem to be having with today’s modern mobile technology.
We now know Apple are slowing down batteries to “prolong lifespan” and “prevent sudden shutdown” – but, is this acceptable?
When Apple admitted that their updated software is slowing down older models, many were outraged. The frequency of new models being released is far too much for some; especially when the cost of a new model can easily set you back a lot of money and equate to more than £100 a month.
For a phone!
So, is Apple’s explanation that they introduced the feature for the iPhone 6 and later models to protect problems occurring with batteries acceptable?
