Italy's anti-trust watchdog said on Wednesday it was fining Apple and Samsung 5 million euros ($5.7 million) each following complaints they used software updates to slow down their mobile phones.

Apple was hit with an additional 5 million euro fine for failing to give clients clear information about how to maintain or eventually replace handset batteries.
