Italy slaps Apple and Samsung with big fines for 'unfair commercial practices'
Apple may have thought the iPhone throttling debacle was a thing of the past after offering heavily discounted battery replacements and a software update allowing users total control over their “battery health”, but as far as one European antitrust watchdog is concerned, what the company did in response to #BatteryGate complaints was too little, too late.
Somewhat surprisingly, the Italian Competition Authority also decided to penalize Samsung for a lesser-known but similarly unfair practice of rolling out software updates reducing the functionality of some phones.
