Apple batterygate case concluded!
Our old readers will remember Apple’s “slowdown” decision in 2017. Since this date, the brand has started to slow down the phones of older generation iPhone models with software updates, citing the “battery” problem. In the face of this situation, many angry users sued Apple in consumer courts.
After the lawsuit was filed, Apple abandoned this strategy. However, angry users did not withdraw their lawsuit demands and took the issue to court.

After the case was concluded in 2023, everyone was wondering about the day when payments would start to be made.

Following this, many users reported that they received payments that varied depending on their phone model.
