France imposes a fine on Apple worth 27 million dollars
The consumer protection authorities in France imposed a financial penalty on Apple of 27 million dollars, as a result of the slowdown of old versions of iPhone phones after the software update. The investigations of the Consumer Protection Commission in France continued for two whole years, with the investigations finally fining Apple for the slow performance of old versions of iPhone phones after the software update, without any notice from Apple before starting to pay updates. The investigations of the Consumer Protection Committee began in France in January of 2018, after Apple's statements that it confirmed that the new updates of iOS software led to a slowdown in the performance of old versions of iPhone phones, in order to meet some of the problems that were detected in the old lithium-ion batteries. The slowdown in the performance of older versions of the iPhone phones was monitored after the software update, which includes both iPhone 6, iPhone 7 and iPhone SE
