Apple may have to launch a special fund dedicated to paying the amounts requested by the judges of the variousaffairesbrought by his detractors. In fact, aftera billion in Franceet759 million in the United States, now it is an additional European country that has decided to crack down on the brand.
This time, it is Italy which confirms that the firm will have to payten millioneuros, after his lawyers appealed a first similar decision. In question, the document validating the sentence speaks of “unfair trade practices“, which date back to a few years ago.
Still nothing for customers?
It all goes back to updatesiOS 10.2.1 and 11.2, which had rendered hundreds of thousands of iPhones inoperable with a faulty battery. Many consumers, thinking that their device was giving up, went toApple Storeto change it… Without obtaining repairs, and having to spend several hundred euros again for a new product.
Unfortunately, it does not seem that these ten million serve here asdamages: therefore difficult for the plaintiffs to win their case. Italy nevertheless seems to want to make an example, which should worry potential other GAFAMs using similar strategies to influence their profit curve.
