Of course, this will mean a handful of lawyers will get millions of dollars, and screwed iPhone users will get a check for 2 bucks.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Apple Inc (AAPL.O) defrauded iPhone users by slowing devices without warning to compensate for poor battery performance, according to eight lawsuits filed in various federal courts in the week since the company opened up about the year-old software change.
The tweak may have led iPhone owners to misguided attempts to resolve issues over the last year, the lawsuits contend.
All the lawsuits – filed in U.S. District Courts in California, New York and Illinois – seek class-action to represent potentially millions of iPhone owners nationwide.
A similar case was lodged in an Israeli court on Monday, the newspaper Haaretz reported.
Apple did not respond to an email seeking comment on the filings.
This is no bull shit. It’s happening to me now. It’s common knowledge.
I assume all smartphone manufacturers do this.
This issue, along with a lower than expect demand for iPhoneX might be expensive for Apple. Then you have sex trafficking for Amazon and Microsoft exec’s. What’s his name from Google stepping down, and it looks like some big hitters in the tech world are getting knocked down a notch.
This explains a lot. Sometimes voicemails don’t show up until the next day. I have told a few people I think Apple hates me the way it acts. “They hate everyone.” said one friend.
It’s bad enough that the mic won’t record anything unless it’s hooked up to Apple, but sometimes you can say something completely innocent and it comes out a string of cuss words telling someone to f**k off.
At that time I’m one send away from ruining a relationship. That’s when the “Apple hates me” comes up.

Your phone tells you to Fuck Off. Bwaaahahhaaahh.
Apple gives exactly what you signed up for. Bow to your mighty lord savor for all is lost without a sub-par device to clench in your hands. Apple users will never understand and no one outside of Apple expects them to.

A flip phone with all data blocked is what
I use…No internet,no texting,no twitter, no email.
Yes! A flip phone is where I need to go.
Meanwhile, if you are feeling even more creative, change the rotting apple photo to one with a bite taken, but which is then spat back out, lying at the base of said fruit.
When I go to the head at work(lotsa stalls)or public restrooms, I can’t help but wonder WTF?…..guys sittin’ on the crapper talking on their phone. Really? Chicks do the same?
Disgusting.
@RADIOATIONMAN, ditto for me. I get laughed at for not even having text. Guess now I can laugh back.
I’ve had a flip phone since 1996. Those are the only ones I want. No texting, no internet, no selfies. Best feature is I can see who’s calling. That in itself makes it more than I ever wanted in a phone.
Happened to me in Nov. 2 days before leaving on a trip. Got tired of debating w Apple and left with no other choice, I had to upgrade. I hate them almost as much as cable co.
Spectrum informed me of 77% rate increase effective 01/18 (absolutely no changes in service). I made 2 calls, one to negotiate back to same rate, second to cancel service.
Signed onto Hulu Live TV and getting more than cable for $45 including tax out the door. Better picture too.
Best New Years resolution I’ve made.
