2018 saw the filing of the Canadian case against Apple Inc. and Apple Canada Inc. The following claims were made against Apple in the lawsuit:
For the software versions of the iPhone 10.2.1, 10.3, 11, and 11.2 the iOS operating system’s performance mitigating tools were inadequate.
Performance throttling caused the smartphone to age prematurely and shut down without warning. It also reduced battery life.
The aforementioned iPhone models had faulty batteries. The lawsuit alleges that the corporation purposefully withheld or misrepresented information regarding the degradation and abuse.
The class action case resulted from lawsuits filed against Apple in multiple provinces, including British Columbia, Ontario, and King’s Beach.
Apple agreed to pay between $11.1 million and $14.4 million to resolve the lawsuit, despite rejecting the accusations.
