About This Case
This Canada-wide class action, filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (claims were also filed in the British Columbia Supreme Court, the Saskatchewan Court of King’s Bench, and the Alberta Court of King’s Bench), alleges that Apple’s iOS software updates for iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, and 7 Plus were provided to iPhone users under the pretense that the software updates were necessary to deliver enhanced security and performance. In reality, however, the updates allowed Apple to slow down the performance of these updated iPhones. This practice is known as “throttling” because Apple intentionally slows the phone’s CPU.
Although Apple’s slowing of iPhones began at some point in 2016 this practice was only exposed in December 2017 through a study conducted by John Poole at Primate Labs.
