On the 28th, the United States Apple Corps apologized to the user for reducing the speed of the old phones, and announced that it would reduce the price of replacement battery for mobile phones that have passed the warranty period. Some users suspect that lowering the performance of older phones is a means for Apple to encourage users to purchase new models. Earlier this month, Apple admitted that it deliberately reduced the speed of some of its older phones, causing criticism. Apple argued that the performance of mobile phone batteries will gradually decline, and the degraded battery will cause the phone to shut down unexpectedly. British Broadcasting Corporation reported that Apple has faced eight lawsuits in the United States due to a reduction in the operating speed of its older mobile phones. It also faces litigation in Israel and France. One of the lawsuit claims is nearly one trillion US dollars (approximately 6.5 trillion yuan). The indictment stated that "Apple did not remedy the battery defect, did not replace the battery for all affected phones for free, but tried to hide this defect." Apple’s official website issued a statement on the 28th, saying that the company in the “Silicon Valley†region of the United States is scheduled to end the period from January to December 2018, and the price of the replacement battery for iPhone 6 and subsequent models that have passed the warranty period will be from US$ 79. RMB 514.1 (RMB) was reduced to US$29 (188.7 RMB). In addition, Apple is scheduled to update the mobile operating system software at the beginning of 2018, users can more clearly understand the battery status of the mobile phone and the impact of the battery on the performance of the mobile phone. Apple said that these measures are to "eliminate users' concerns and reward their (brand) loyalty." Rory van Lo, a professor of consumer technology law at Boston University, criticized Apple's short-sighted approach to old phones, which was inconsistent with the brand's value. "For me, some of Apple made a bad business decision," without more transparent descriptions of software upgrades and battery conditions. For security reasons, Apple's management ordered on the 28th that CEO Tim Cook could only take private planes when participating in commercial and private activities.
