Many Apple users have begun accusing the company of purposefully slowing down older iPhones with aging batteries.

In 2017, people began to realize that some of the performance issues were related to their batteries. According to Geekbench, after some iPhone owners have replaced batteries, they have noticed performance issues have been resolved.

Later that year, Apple admitted that it was slowing down the performance of older phones. Apple said it slowed down the affected phones because as phone batteries age, there is a risk of the phone suddenly turning off. It was a major scandal for the company that led to numerous lawsuits that eventually turned into a class action lawsuit.

Instead of continuing to invest in a costly legal battle, Apple came to terms (denying any wrongdoing) and agreed to pay between $310 million and $500 million, depending on the number of claims filed.
