France just fined Apple $27 million for intentionally slowing down iPhones — the amount of profit the company makes in under 3 hours

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.France's competition watchdog fined Apple $27 million for deliberately slowing down older iPhone models without telling users, as first reported byApple issued software updates in 2017 that capped the performance of iPhone 6, iPhone 7, and iPhone SE models whose aging batteries couldn't handle surges in energy use.

Apple has faced fines for this practice before, but the amounts have been tiny relative to Apple's sales.

Apples and oranges may be different, but this certainly closes the gap between apples and lemons. This is theft from consumers. Shame on you Apple!! Sign me up for classaction lawsuit.

Hey tim_cook AppleTV pay your UK taxes

An Apple junkie was ridiculing my Android phone. When I replied that I have transferred my MP3 tunes from my 20 year old MP3 player to my phone so could play them through my smart speaker can you do that I said . Lot of silence after that

Horrible firm

I’ve been moaning about this latency in all Apple products since the 90s each update just slows the older products to a point you’re replacing every 2yrs

This fine is a joke

JoshMankiewicz Also a tax write off so in effect the French people paid for that...

One of the many reasons I hate apple products.

France is anti-American, let's retaliate with some penalties on BNP or Dannon

🤦🏾‍♂️ 🤦🏾‍♂️
