When Apple admitted to slowing down older iPhone models, one would assume that the saga would be concluded. Not quite, as the technology giant has been reeled into three lawsuits by a consumer rights organization known as Euroconsumers. The first two lawsuits were launched in December 2020 by two Euroconsumer organizations based in Belgium and Spain, while Italian consumer rights entity Altroconsumo is filing the third one.

The lawsuits detail that Apple will have to fork over at least €60, or $73 when using direct currency conversion, to each iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, and iPhone 6S Plus owner for planned obsolescence. Els Bruggeman, Head of Policy and Enforcement at Euroconsumers states that when customers purchased any one member from the iPhone 6 series, they expected a quality product, but that wasn’t the case here.
