@ 2023/08/16After a long-running court battle
A US court has signed off on a deal where Apple pays money to owners of older iPhones in what was dubbed as one of the "one of the largest consumer frauds in history."
According to the lawsuit, filed in 2018, reports of unexplained iPhone shutdowns began to surface in 2015 and increased in the autumn of 2016. Consumers complained their phones were shutting off even though the batteries showed a charge of more than 30 per cent, the lawsuit claimed.
