Apple CEO Tim Cook promised that Apple in the new version of iOS will allow customers to disable the automatic slowdown of the iPhone due to an outdated battery. This is written by CNBC.
Cook again apologized on behalf of the company and explained that the developers considered it necessary to reduce the performance of old smartphones in order to reduce the risk of unwanted reboots.
The update with the new feature will be released in February, the head of Apple said. The updated iOS will give users the ability to monitor the battery status and give up the slowdown of the iPhone.
Apple admitted in understating the frequency of smartphone processors in December 2017. At the end of the year, the company apologized to customers and reduced the cost of non-warranty replacement of batteries to $ 29.
January 16, 2018 in Russia filed the first lawsuit against Apple: the Russian demanded 777 thousand 777 rubles (~15000$) in compensation for moral damage due to the slowdown of the iPhone.
