Back in 2018, Apple was hit with a 10 million euro fine in Italy over the iPhone performance throttling scandal.

Apple lost the lawsuit at the end of 2018, with an Italian court ruling that Apple had not appropriately disclosed the changes to performance introduced with iOS 10.2.1.

This was the iOS update that implemented new performance throttling changes for older iPhones with aging batteries.

Following an investigation, the Italian antitrust regulator fined Apple 10 million euros and accused the iPhone maker of having “implemented unfair commercial practices.” That ruling has now been upheld by an appeals court in Italy.

The new filings, discovered by setteBIT on Twitter, explain that the initial investigation was correct in its ruling that the changes to performance due to battery health should have been immediately been made known to iPhone owners.

Meanwhile, Apple has also agreed to pay $500 million to settle a United States lawsuit over iPhone performance throttling.

On the iPhone, Apple now allows users to manage their Battery Health and capacity, and disable performance throttling caused by reduced battery capacity.
