Apple has been hit with a multi-million dollar fine for deliberately slowing down older iPhone models via a software update.
The €25 million ($27 million) punishment was issued by France’s competition and fraud watchdog DGCCRF, which found Apple did not warn users that updating the latest firmware would slow down their smartphones.
Apple admitted in December 2017 that it did slow down old iPhone devices, though the company claimed that it was done to prolong their lifespan.
