Apple has sued iPhone 4s owners, accusing the company of deliberately slowing down their smartphones. This was reported by the publication “MacRumors”.

The company’s lawyers have reached a settlement with iPhone 4s users suing Apple. According to the agreement, representatives of the American company recognized the problem with popular smartphones and agreed to pay compensation. Apple will allocate $20 million as compensation.

The plaintiffs misrepresented that “Apple misrepresented that iOS 9 is compatible with the iPhone 4S and will improve or improve the performance of the devices.” The company agreed to pay each user $15 for a smartphone released in 2011. Apple has promised to create a site to collect apps.

A class action lawsuit was filed in 2015, in which the plaintiffs represented a group of iPhone 4s owners from New York and New Jersey. According to users, Apple has announced iOS 9 as a suitable operating system for the phone, but the update can significantly reduce the performance of the device.
