Apple has failed to block a lawsuit in London as Justin Gutman, a consumer advocate, has been given the go-ahead on his mass claim of up to £2 billion. If he wins, up to 25 million users in the UK can claim some form of compensation from Apple.
Essentially, Justin Gutman claims that Apple put out iOS updates that throttled CPUs to artificially extend battery life, which may have resulted in consumers believing their phones were slowing down over time and potentially due for an upgrade. The update also made users believe their battery health was stronger than initially thought. He alleges this affects phones from the iPhone 6 all the way up to the iPhone X.
