One of the main reasons for the average user to buy a new mobile device -Android o iOS that is -, very often it is linked to the fact that the latter begins to show signs of slowdown, episodes of crashes, optimizations that are not adequate for new software released and other situations of this kind. He knows something in particular Apple which, a few years ago, was accused of "premature obsolescence".
The fine, worth 10 million, was recently confirmed by the TAR of Lazio. In fact, after having received this sanction, Apple promptly appealed, also requesting, among others, a review of the decision which, apparently, was again confirmed on the basis of what was decided by the Italian Competition Authority. .
This sanction was born by virtue of the events that occurred in 2018, where it was recognized to Apple an “unfair and aggressive commercial practice”, keeping their devices up-to-date but causing them to deteriorate without end users being notified. In particular, the devices were taken into consideration iPhone 6 e iPhone 6s following the updates iOS 10 e 10.1.2. The Lazio TAR recognized this incorrect Apple behavior, which suggested to the owners of the devices in question to update the smartphone without specifying what they were going towards, with the final consequence that the user was then forced to replace the model that has now become obsolete with a newer one, thus gaining an economic advantage.
