Deliberately degrade iPhone performance?Apple ordered to compensate users for mental damage in South Korea

South Korea's Seoul High Court ruled on June 6 that Korean consumers won the second instance of Apple's class action case and demanded that Apple pay 70,000 won (about 380 yuan) to each of the seven plaintiffs.。The Seoul High Court did not accept the plaintiff's claim that updating the operating system of the old iPhone was a damaged machine or malicious program, but said that "even if the update is to prevent the machine from turning off, it limits the performance of the central processing unit (CPU) or graphics processing unit (GPU), etc."。The Seoul High Court held that there was a "considerable" information asymmetry between Apple and consumers regarding the results and impact of the updated operating system.。Apple is liable for failing to adequately explain to consumers whether they can choose to install the update, infringing on consumers' right to choose and causing them to suffer moral damage。
