Samsung and Apple are getting fined 5 Million Euros (approximately $5,697,130 USD) for purposely nosediving their customer’s cell phone experiences. Apple is getting hit with an extra 5 Million Euros on top of the initial 5M for not giving proper information on how customers can replace their batteries after normal wear and tear.
After Apple admitted to slowing down older iPhone models to increase the battery life in its devices, people began accusing the tech giant of making older phones obsolete so that the upgrade to a newer one would be necessary.
Samsung didn’t have that issue, but they’re still getting hit with a hefty fine for the purposeful malfunction.
