South Korean government investigate iPhone slowdowns

If the iPhone is installed on the battery is old, Apple will deliberately reduce the performance of mobile phones, the matter caused widespread controversy around the world. Many government agencies are investigating Apple’s conduct and now even the Central District Attorney’s Office in Seoul, South Korea, joins them.

When upgrading iOS, to prevent the device from shutting down unexpectedly, if iPhone installs older batteries, Apple will limit the processor speed, resulting in decreased iPhone performance. After the incident was exposed at the end of last year, it caused widespread controversy and customers were also confused.

According to the Apple Insider report, the Citizens United for Consumer Sovereignty sued Apple for believing it was actually unnecessary for Apple to incentivize users to intentionally slow down iPhone performance. Really pregnant with such a conspiracy it? Apple strongly denied. Last week, Apple CEO Cook told ABC News: “Some people think we have no ulterior motives and I sincerely apologize to these people.” Apple also posted an open letter on the official website, reducing battery replacement costs to $29.

However, during the interview, Cook’s remark caused another controversy. His remarks were widely reported by the media and angered some customers. Cook said: “When we did that, we did tell everyone, but I think many people did not pay attention, maybe we should explain more clearly.” It triggered a series of investigations, Apple suffered so many accusations, according to theory There is no “possibility”. Apple released iOS 10.2.1 software in 2016, when the phone speed, battery management, but the iPhone is so expensive, if Apple wants to limit the speed of the software upgrade process, you should explain in advance.

Cook said that in the upcoming iOS upgrade process, Apple will provide more battery health reference information, allowing users to turn off the speed limit. This will not affect the user experience, but the phone may turn off when the battery is still running.
