However, the claim against Apple isn’t merely about a faulty product. The real twist in the plot, Moser suggests, lies in Apple’s purported “veil of opacity and insincerity,” which shielded them from the financial fallout stemming from these issues.

France too penalized the company with a €25 million ($27 million) slap on the wrist following iPhone slowdown probes.
The claimants deduced a reduced worth for each affected iPhone in the UK, setting them back by £25 on average. The compounded damage? A staggering £853 million.
