Apple seems to be very serious problems, as more and more iPhone users complain about their devices slowing down, with a lawsuit demanding $999 billion in damages from the company.
The legal controversy started when Apple admitted earlier this month that it slows down older iPhones to combat its degradation batterys.
The plaintiffs claim that the company deliberately reduced the performance of iPhone as a solution to minimize the impact of worn out batteries without informing buyers.
This made many of the company's existing customers buy newer ones models, as Apple has never disclosed that the slowdown in its older models can be fully remedied by replacing the battery in those devices or avoiding downloading iOS updates.
In addition, the lawsuit states that most customers have bought new iPhone models for better performance, and names iPhone 4 until iPhone 8 as the devices affected by the slowdown.
Apple has not commented on the lawsuit that has been filed, and it is possible that it will never issue a statement, especially when the number of people interested in a lawsuit is increasing daily.
While it's very hard to believe that the company could agree to a $999 billion settlement, Apple is clearly in big trouble right now, not necessarily because of the lawsuit itself, but because its customers are losing faith in company and the producthers.
