A lawsuit is being brought against the giant corporation, Apple Inc, for allegedly disabling FaceTime video conferencing apps on their older model iPhones. Some suggest Apple are doing this to force customers to upgrade to more expensive and newer models.<\/p>\n
Apple attempted to get the lawsuit dismissed, but reportedly failed.<\/p>\n
A Judge in the case ruled that customers who own the iPhone 4 and 4S models can join a class action for Apple’s alleged behaviour. Users claim that Apple has no right to discontinue a feature purely on older generation models.

The lawsuit claims that Apple found a cheaper supplier of the video interfacing feature (which is routed via a third party) for their iOS7 operating system. Rather than paying for the same service for their iOS6 operating systems, it’s believed that Apple may have simply disabled the feature for models that use iOS6 or older systems.<\/p>\n
