Italian government issues throttling fines to Apple and… Samsung?!

sudshr47 October 24, 2018

An investigation may have just breathed new life into Batterygate. But not for Apple — for Samsung.

The Italian government fined Apple €10 million ($11.4 million) for slowing down (or “throttling”) older iPhone models, according to Reuters. The government’s anti-trust watchdog issued the fine, which included €5 million for the actual throttling, and €5 million for not making iPhone battery replacement easy or transparent.

Surprisingly, the agency also fined Samsung for throttling. In January, Samsung denied that it ever purposely slowed down old phones, and Samsung throttling has not been a widespread cause of a suspicion, as it had been with Apple. But the Italian government nonetheless opened an investigation in January, and has now seen fit to fine the Android phone maker, too. Read more…

Apple Iphone Lawsuits Tech Throttling

Here come the first Apple lawsuits over the slowing down of iPhones

sudshr47 December 22, 2017

It’s only been a few days since the world learned Apple was purposely slowing down older iPhones in an effort, as they say, to save battery life. And already we have our first series of class-action lawsuits against the tech giant.

While some have suggested it’s not a big deal, others have responded with outrage. Now there are two lawsuits, one filed in Illinois and another in California, calling shenanigans on the whole thing.

The Illinois lawsuit, filed by five people — a pair in Chicago with other plaintiffs from Ohio, Indiana, and North Carolina — calls the practice “deceptive, immoral, and unethical” and says the iOS updates Apple has been rolling out to slow old phones down “were engineered to purposefully slow down or ‘throttle down’ the performance speeds.” Read more…
