A few days ago we published a news item with Apple's confirmation of intentionally reducing the capacity of iPhones to save battery and improve usability.
However, the manufacturer ended up leaving countless users disgusted with its attitude. Maça had already received a lawsuit from a couple of US residents, now, it has just received another one, but from Israel.
Two Israelis filed a class-action lawsuit worth more than $120 million, alleging that Apple maker violated its duties towards users by failing to announce that software updates negatively impact iPhone usage, which Apple says it is a preventive measure, innocent.

The document emphasizes that, without a doubt, information about the slowness of the devices is important and that the user should be informed about the consequences of the update, which is negatively affecting the functioning of iPhones.

It all started with a revelation from Apple stating that old iPhones with new iOS system updates were getting slower. The release of an update to reduce the speed of the devices would have been a way found by the company to prevent the battery from draining too quickly and to solve the problem of older iPhones that were turning off by themselves or simply crashing.
In addition, the company revealed that older models had this performance reduction to prevent overheating and to avoid other failures to the device's internal components.
Apple statement
"Our goal is to deliver the best experience to consumers, which includes the overall performance and prolonging the life of their devices. Li-ion batteries become less capable of delivering peak current demands when in cold conditions, with low battery charge or as they age over time, which may result in the device unexpectedly shutting down to protect its electronics.
Last year, we released a feature for the iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, and iPhone SE to smooth out instantaneous spikes only when necessary, to prevent the device from shutting down unexpectedly during these conditions. We have now extended this feature to iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2 and plan to add support for other products in the future."
