A controversy in which Apple intentionally slowed down the performance of older iPhones.

Examples

“Consumers riled up about Apple's Batterygate. We spoke to iPhone owners in the historic Gaslamp district of San Diego about Apple's admission that it slowed down older phones purposely.”

“Apple's Batterygate is a bit different than the Volkswagen scandal -- there's no direct environmental damage here (other than old phones prematurely destined for trash heaps) but the loss of trust the company is likely to incur might be just as significant.”

“If there was one positive that came out of Batterygate, it was an increased public awareness and support for Right to Repair legislation.”
