The largest lawsuit amounts to $ 999 billion or you could say 1 trillion. It was filed by Violetta Mailyan who filed the first class action lawsuit against the company. A second class action lawsuit was filed by Raisa Drantivy in New York. Raisa is demanding only $ 100 million. Well! That’s a concession and much smaller than 1 billion.
Each of the lawsuits represent the millions who have been affected by the slowing down of iPhones even as Apple has released its latest versions being the iPhone 8 and iPhone X which was released last September. The suits also seek to bar the company from meddling with the computing speeds of devices. If this is proved in court, it would validate the fraud claims.
