Following the review by French and South Korean lawmakers about the performance of software acceleration and battery management on the iPhone, Apple is now being investigated by the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to Bloomberg.
The report, which cites anonymous sources that "know the case," points to the investigation by the US government. This may be done to determine whether the shareholders were affected by incorrect performance records.
The software, which was submitted with 10.2.1 and iOS, only affects models such as the iPhone 6 and intentionally slows down CPU performance as soon as the battery power of the device falls below a threshold of 80 percent of capacity.
Apple recognized the software after customers started testing it for themselves. The company continued to apologize, CEO Tim Cook admitted to ABC News that "maybe I would have been clearer" about his decision to automatically speed up the phone users, whereupon Apple insisted there was no system to launch the planned obsolescence, but prevented random shutdowns due to damaged batteries.
While the US government UU seems to be mainly concerned about the possibility that Apple cheats investors, foreign prosecutors are investigating the threat of planned obsolescence. In December, Apple reduced battery replacement prices for customers with devices for $ 79 to $ 29, but that has not stopped the technological giant of Cupertino remained inundated with class action lawsuits and complaints from consumer control groups in the following weeks
At the moment, the USU's UI only requested information from Apple during the investigation. Bloomberg sources say it's too early to determine whether sanctions are being imposed on the iPhone maker.
