he says apple slowed down the performance of some iphone models by hiding a power management tool in software updates. apple said the idea was to preserve ageing batteries and lengthen the life span of older devices. it s a process known as throttling . mr guttman s claim has been filed with the competition appeal tribunal. he s seeking damages of 768 million pounds. he says apple misled users over the incident by pushing them to download software updates it said would improve the performance of their devices and make them more secure, when it actually slowed them down. the legal claim says apple did add a mention of the power management tool to its website later on, but says it didn t make it clear it would slow down older iphones. those models range from the iphone 6 up to the iphone x. apple did later allow iphone
users to manually disable the throttling feature. to check whether you have it switched on, go to the battery tab in settings. this claim seeks compensation for everybody affected, without them having to opt in. it s thought 25 million british iphone users could be eligible for a small cash payout if its successful. apple settled a similar legal case in the us two years ago, brought by 33 different states. in a statement, apple said, we have never and would never do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades. back to you, sophie. thank you. let s back to you, sophie. thank you. let s talk back to you, sophie. thank you. let s talk about back to you, sophie. thank you. let s talk about the back to you, sophie. thank you. let s talk about the weather - back to you, sophie. thank you. | let s talk about the weather now because it is getting hotter and hotter in much of england and wales, and temperatur
