Apple has agreed to pay C$14.4 million to settle a case in Canada related to the throttling of iPhone performance. The settlement comes after an investigation by the Competition Bureau of Canada into Apple's practice of slowing down older iPhones through software updates.
The issue first came to light in 2017 when Apple admitted that it had released software updates that intentionally slowed down the performance of older iPhone models with aging batteries. The company claimed that this was done to prevent unexpected shutdowns due to battery degradation.
