VINDICATED! APPLE ‘ADMITS’ IPHONE SOFTWARE UPDATES PURPOSELY SLOWED DOWN PHONE, WILL PAY MILLIONS IN SETTLEMENT by MIKE GUNZELMANhttps://www.outkick.com/vindicated-apple-admits-iphone-software-updates-purposely-slowed-down-phone-will-pay-millions-in-settlement/APPLE REACHED A SETTLEMENT OVER UPGRADE ISSUES On Friday, a judge instructed Apple to begin paying out hundreds of millions of dollars to over 3.3 million plaintiffs that were part of a 2020 class action lawsuit against the tech giant. The expected payout will cost Apple anywhere from $310 to $500 MILLION DOLLARS in the end. The plaintiffs argued that Apple’s iPhones were using “software throttling” tactics, which deliberately slowed down user’s phones so they would purchase new ones. (Exactly what I’ve been arguing!) If you were one of the millions of people that were part of the class action lawsuit, I want you to go and buy yourself a delicious steak (medium rare) with the settlement money.)
