This report comes out the same week that Apple was sued for economic damages and other harm after admitting it slowed down older iPhones intentionally. Apple has admitted to limiting speeds on phones older than a year but claimed it was doing so to offer optimal performance. Even with this statement, the plaintiffs Stephan Bogdanovich and Dakota Speas plan to file a class-action suit. So far, Apple has not a released a statement about the PC Mag report or the potential lawsuit.
