Following huge waves of criticism and several lawsuits (http://mashable.com/2017/12/22/apple-throttling-lawsuits-filed/) slamming Apple for purposely slowing down older iPhones to balance power consumption from aged batteries, the tech giant has now issued an apology (https://www.apple.com/iphone-battery-and-performance/) and has reduced the cost of an out-of-warranty battery replacement from $79 to $29.
In a message posted to its website, Apple acknowledges that it miscommunicated what was happening with its power management features that were included in software updates since at least a year ago. Apple has been blamed for not being more transparent about the sneaky maneuver.
