The number of class action lawsuits against Apple for deliberately slowing older iPhones has now reached 45, but one law firm wants to go rather further than demanding compensation.
DiCello Levitt & Casey wants to force Apple to suspend the battery recycling program, keeping all the old batteries swapped to date …
In an email to us, the law firm said that Apple was discarding batteries removed through the program, and it wanted to see these retained as evidence.
As with the many other lawsuits, this one accuses Apple of deceptive practices.
The form says that both the batteries and the diagnostic test results form ‘critical’ evidence in any case against the company, and that it should be obliged to preserve and release the data.
Apple deceived many of its customers into buying brand new iPhones by rolling out its iOS throttling software, causing them material financial damages.
Update: The firm clarified that it is only calling for battery recycling to be suspended, not replacements.
