Many customers with older Apple product cell phones have complained of iPhone slow down problems. Recently, it was revealed that Apple may have been intentionally causing phones to slow down with new features in its more recent operating system updates.
As a result, Apple is facing quite a few lawsuits citing purposeful iPhone slow down tactics by the technology giant.
One such iPhone slow down lawsuit has been filed by plaintiff Victor M. Victor, a resident of Queens, N.Y., claims he purchased an iPhone 6s Plus in March 2016. He says that as soon as he updated his operating system to iOS 10, he began experiencing problems with his new phone. Victor says as he continued to install updates to his phone, he experienced more and more iPhone slow down problems.
According to the iPhone slow down lawsuit, “Apple has been intentionally limiting older iPhone performance in certain circumstances through its iOS updates.”
Even though updating the operating system is entirely optional, over time, if a user did not update the iOS, the phone would fail to run important applications that the user relies on, thereby making the phone unable to work properly.
Victor asserts that by concealing the slow down, Apple led customers like himself to believe that they needed to buy a new phone. He alleges that Apple should have informed customers in a timely manner that a new battery would help with iPhone slow down problems. But instead, they allegedly kept their practice of “throttling iPhone performance” concealed.
Victor alleges that he experienced the following iPhone slow down problems: slow operating speed, reduced battery life, slow service while using applications, screen freezes, freezing applications, rapid decline in battery power, and sudden and random iPhone shutdown or restart.
Victor asserts that Apple advised him to trade in his phone for a refurbished phone. He did so and paid the necessary fees, but the iPhone slow down problems continued. He claims that Apple interfered with the normal and ordinary use of his phone.
In October 2017, Victor preordered the iPhone X and received it on Nov. 8, 2017. He opted for this model rather than the iPhone 8 because he believed it was the “top iPhone model.” Victor paid around $1,000 for the newest iPhone and was unaware that had he simply not updated his original phone, he would not have experienced these iPhone slow down problems.
Victor asserts that Apple “secretly slowed down the speed of older iPhones with degraded batteries through iOS 10 and 11 updates” and “engaged in deliberate CPU throttling of older iPhones with degraded batteries.” He claims they did so without giving users the opportunity to make informed decisions. Victor is proposing class-action status for his iPhone slow down lawsuit.
This iPhone Slow Down Lawsuit is Case No. 1:18-cv-00051 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

105 thoughts onCustomers Could Receive Compensation for iPhone Slow Down Problems
I must be added to this Apple iPhone “throttle”. I have a 6s plus and have experienced automatic shutdowns without no wrongdoing of myself. Had to call Apple customer support on someone else’s phone.
Can i get in on this i have n iphone 5s? And it will shut down unexpectedly.
Please add me to this class action? I bought the iPhone 6Plus on 10/1/2014.. It slowed down to the point that I bought a new iPhone late 2018.
I have had several issues with my iPhone 6. Everything is slow. When I upgrade, it seems slower. The battery doesn’t hold a charge very long. The volume is low. I have to talk on the speaker most of the time in order to hear the person on the other line. Please add me in the class action suit.
I have the 6s and have had issues with slowdown and battery not holding a charge. Please add me to the lawsuit.
Please add me to the class action. I have the 6 and am currently experiencing these issues
My 6splus is always acting up
Please add me
How do you become part of this class action suit? I have a 6s for myself and my daughter and both can’t keep a charge for more than a couple of hours. I have heard that some have received money from this suit but not sure how to become part of it.
I had purchased my iPhone 6S when they first came out, and over time the performance of my phone has dramatically declined. I am forced to update to the new iOS every time, and each time my phone gets worse. My phone shut off for no reason at 30 or 35% battery life. My apps either won’t open at all or they shut down while in use. I have even deleted and reinstalled some and they still don’t work. In my settings when I go to battery it states that my battery Health is significantly degraded and my maximum charge is only at 62%! I consistently have to carry a charger wherever I go. Overall in the phone is in good shape, but the IOS system is rapidly declining. This makes things inconvenient and frustrating. These phones are not cheap and are typically a staple in every day life. I would absolutely appreciate to be part of this class action lawsuit.
