20 minutes – Apple pays iPhone users $ 25 each

The lawsuit over throttled iPhones seems to be slowly coming to an end. Apple is willing to pay up to $ 500 million (the equivalent of CHF 480 million). Court documents show that only a judge in California has to agree to this decision. The reason for this measure is that Apple admitted in 2017 to intentionally slow down older iPhone models by means of software updates.

The tech group claimed at the time that this should prevent older devices from simply switching off due to their weaker batteries. However, the allegation was that Apple wanted to tempt customers to buy a new iPhone.

As a result, Apple had to deliver a new software update and offer new batteries at a lower price. In France, the company recently said it was willing to pay CHF 27 million, according to authorities.

Now, owners of an iPhone 7 or an older model in the United States are to receive around $ 25 per device. However, the amount can change depending on how many customers are actually going to claim compensation.
