Despite being one of the top smartphone sellers in the world, Apple and Samsung couldn’t resist slowing down their older devices in order to implicitly force customers to upgrade their phones. However, the shady act caught up with them, and the companies were fined by the Italian Competition Authority. Huawei, which has been aggressively pursuing the spot of number one smartphone maker, used this opportunity to take a dig at Apple.

Apple was asked to pay $11.4 million, while Samsung was fined $5.7 million as a penalty. While this is peanuts for the tech giants, the resulting PR damage could be a mess. Huawei decided to add fuel to the fire by sending out a tweet to take a jibe at its two rivals in the smartphone space. The company promised that it will never slow down its smartphones to force customers to upgrade their device.
