Yes malware can damage battery a lot and make a smartphone automatically turn it's self off

Basically battery's are dangerous safety problem yes
Something I have said along yes apple as I have always said like too slow down phone's and drain the battery just too make you buy a new smartphone

It really is true apple fan's really are loyal too there brand something which is foreign too me as a android user I personally have different values I am only willing put up with so much till I just buy from another brand as I personally think it's the best way put regulations on a brand by using buying habits and review's I guess lawsuit's for profit is most extreme case

    iPhone throttling turns out when the iphone camera see something it shouldn't see privacy law's have been broken
    On performance I guess apple didn't like what they see
    But don't want people too know there spying yet I saw the light on the camera

    It's really is true people are really neglectful a reason I think people should keep a camera on them as I strongly support victim reports if something happens

    A reason I want a victim too have a smartphone with internet security program and a camera app as I really don't like it when people don't listen too victim reports

    On performance low ram is a real problem I guess people can now see why ram and storage is important never know what someone is using it for

    Going be a lot of legal case happens around privacy law's vs security I know apple is full of built-in backdoors the question I am wondering is if they use a app form a app store for this which anyone can use for personal protection inorder too spy which I guess is why the light was on which I know was going too happen sooner or later

Apple is a joke and it is not your friend, Apple is there to take your money, they don't care about you or anyone else, only money. And you talking about R&D who gives a fuck about Apple R&D 🤣

                                Instead of £1.6b it should be £16b.

                                  Wow. 1.6 billion pounds of money that could potentially have been allocated to R&D.

                                  I don't know about you, but it sounds a lot like this plaintiff is just a wannabe who's exploiting Apple's weakness that they've already fixed. I would like to see this guy get his case thrown out publicly because he's doing nothing new. Apple's already been sued over this, already fixed the problem, and already apologized. I don't know what else you guys (Or this plaintiff) want from Apple, because they've already done everything they could. At this point, it just looks like this guy and his lawyers want money from Apple. Which is pretty pathetic, suing people just for their cash.

Limit their market share to 20%. Make it so that at any given point of time, a limit of iphones can be activated on a carrier at the same time.

                                      lawsuit? UK should have honor and just ban the entire iphone sales there, the ones that want it, buy them on the black market
