Apple Sued For Millions Over Claims It Secretly Decided To Slow Down Older Phones (Alamy)
Apple has found itself at the centre of a multimillion-pound lawsuit.
The American multinational technology company is being sued by consumer rights campaigner Justin Gutmann.
Gutmann has claimed Apple rolled out a software update which it knew would slow down some consumers’ phones, but that it advertised it instead as improving performance.
Millions of iPhone owners could be reimbursed if Apple loses the suit.
Our client @JustinGutmann has today issued a new claim against Apple for failing to make iPhone users aware of a power management tool in iOS updates which caused iPhones to shut down or perform slower. The claim of £768m will allow up to 25 million people to claim compensation. pic.twitter.com/gJNcVFgIdn
