Penalty slapped on Apple, Samsung over slowing iPhones, Galaxy Note 4
Since September 2016, Apple repeatedly prompted iPhone6 customers to update the software on their phones to an operating system that had been designed for the next generation model, iPhone7, without alerting consumers that the update could lead the handsets to malfunction, the report said.
The ACGM said both companies had been fined the highest possible amount reflecting the severity of their dishonest practices. Image source: Reuters
