LONDON: Apple urged a London tribunal on Tuesday to block a US$2 billion mass lawsuit accusing it of hiding defective batteries in millions of iPhones by"throttling" them with software updates.
Gutmann's lawyers argued in court filings that Apple concealed issues with batteries in certain phone models and"surreptitiously" installed a power management tool which limited performance. The company also says its power management update - introduced in 2017 to manage demands on older batteries or with a low level of charge - only reduced an iPhone 6's performance by an average of 10 per cent.
His lawyer Philip Moser referred to Apple's 2020 agreements to settle a US class action and regulatory action by US states over iPhone battery issues as showing Apple was not"saying this never happened".
