In connection with the suspicion that Apple has deliberately reduced the performance of the old iPhone, the prosecution has launched a new investigation with an investigation. Although it was not previously in effect, it is a policy to re-review the facts based on foreign sentencing cases, so I am interested in whether Apple’s liability for compensation will be recognized. Reporter Park Seo-kyung reports. Users of older models like the iPhone 6 have raised suspicions that the operating system has changed to slow down when the battery level drops after the 2017 update. The Citizens Council for Consumer Sovereignty accused Apple CEO Tim Cook in 2018 of fraud and obstruction, saying that Apple deliberately reduced its performance to sell more new mobile phones. However, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, which was in charge of the investigation, decided not to hand her over to trial, claiming there were insufficient grounds to admit the charges. The Citizens Council for Consumer Sovereignty appealed again in January saying he could not be admitted, and the Seoul Senior Prosecutor’s Office ordered a new investigation in July due to a lack of investigation. Consequently, the prosecution recently launched a new investigation by investigating an official of a civic group as an accuser. In particular, the prosecution is paying attention to additional details that have been confirmed in trials and various processes, such as the cases that recently admitted Apple’s guilt in foreign countries. Indeed, the United States, Italy and France have issued rulings acknowledging Apple’s responsibility, including fines or penalties for not receiving adequate notice of poor performance. However, since forced investigations against Apple are difficult in reality, we plan to secure the relevant data as much as possible through legal assistance, and then let the department in charge of scientific investigations see if there are any real problems. When the prosecution’s investigation began again in earnest, it was decided to look at the status of the investigation without concluding a civil lawsuit involving nearly 10,000 iPhone users. It was determined that the results of the prosecution’s investigation would be helpful as the situation was unavoidable to prove Apple’s liability only with externally disclosed data. Apple still does not accept responsibility for the compensation because the update does not cause problems for daily use, even if the performance decreases. It is noteworthy that the prosecution, which gave leniency once and was then re-investigated after nine months, this time duly reveals Apple’s responsibility, so that users can receive adequate compensation and apology.
