Apple users who filed a class-action lawsuit once morest Apple due to the “planned obsolescence” of its devices, taking into account all legal costs, will earn approximately $ 65. This was reported by the portal The Verge. The law firm Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, which represented the interests of the plaintiffs, began preparing documents in 2020. In the summer of 2021, the proceedings started, and as a result, the parties came to a pre-trial decision. According to him, Apple must pay the plaintiffs from $310 million to $500 million, depending on how many people were affected. This amount will be divided among more than 3 million people. This decision was appealed for higher compensation, but it was rejected. In the course of the proceedings, it was proved that Apple deliberately slowed down iPhone smartphones if the system detected severe battery degradation. At the same time, the company stated that this is necessary so that the smartphone does not turn off spontaneously.
