Apple's controversial decision to slow down iPhones with worn-out batteries to improve their battery life has been encountered highly negatively by someof its users. They claim that it was illegal to activate that function on their phones without letting them know.

Just a day after the company had officially admitted the fact of slowing down some of the iPhone 6/6s/SE's two lawsuits against the company were made by the US residents. They stated, that Apple wasn't asking for a permission to activate this function, is using it to boost their phone sales and is violating the Human Rights Act. They called the Apple's decision "amoral and unethical".

And now the first lawsuit against company outside the US was made. It is a collective lawsuit from residents of Israel, and is very similar to US ones. Except everything mentioned in the US lawsuits, the one from Israel also states that this software update "is aimed at forcing people to change their iPhones and buy new ones faster".

Time will tell how much will this decision cost the Cupertino company.
