Be that as it may, it resemble its Batterygate burdens aren’t exactly finished. Italy is fining Apple and Samsung 5 million euros each for purposefully slowing down telephones. As per Reuters, Apple was slapped with an extra 5 million euro fine to neglect to give clients data on maintaining and replacing batteries.
The motivation behind slowing off more older telephones, as per Apple, was to enhance battery life and in this way increment the life span of more older telephones.
Notwithstanding, the way that Apple and Samsung didn’t educate purchasers (or give them a decision) was, justifiably, an issue. It appeared as though the organizations were anticipating telephone obsolescence and driving individuals into new handsets.
Apple presented another battery health highlight in iOS 11.3 and reduced the cost of substitution batteries after the subsequent clamor.

It added the two firms had not provided clients adequate information about the impact of the new software “or any means of restoring the original functionality of the products”.
