传美国多个州份调查苹果限制旧款iPhone运作速度 涉违诈骗交易法
《路透》引述文件报道,美国亚里桑那州牵头多个美国州份,就苹果智能手机iPhone运作速度减慢涉违反诈骗交易行为法例进行调查。报道指调查在2018年10月已进行,调查人员要求苹果交代旧iPhone突然关机,与及公司透过电力管理软件减慢iPhone手机运作速度。
有关注团体上周从德克萨斯州取得文件,指出当地亦有参与调查,但未披露调查详情。报道引述消息指,美国大部分州份均参与调查。
美国量度手机处理器表现软件开发商Primate Labs於2017年发现,苹果公司旧款手机表现随使用年期下滑。苹果其後承认减少用电量影响处理器表现。用户质疑苹果利用减慢旧手机运作速度逼使他们购买新手机,苹果其後公开道歉并下调更换电池收费。
苹果年初同意就有关诉讼支付5亿美元作为和解。
