Apple is in trouble again. The company faces a massive £768 million lawsuit in the UK due to certain iPhone models slowing down after an update was rolled out. Importantly, Apple could be forced to pay hefty compensation to consumers. So, if you had any of these iPhone models, you may well be eligible for compensation from Apple. The lawsuit has been filed by Justin Gutmann, a consumer champion in the UK on behalf of almost 25 million iPhone users. The lawsuit claims that Apple “throttled” these iPhones which impacted performance in a bid to conserve battery. It may have well forced people to purchase new devices. The iPhones in the lawsuit include iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X.

The iPhone throttling occurred due to a new Power Management Feature which arrived in iPhones via iOS update, back in 2017. Instead of increasing the performance, the update slowed down the iPhones to an extent that users of the older models were unable to use their devices.

Apple CEO Tim Cook later apologized for the same after a public outrage. The company was later forced to pay compensation to the affected users. It now seems that Apple is in trouble again. Users of iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus and the iPhone X will be eligible for compensation if the lawsuit is successful.

Gutmann said, "I'm launching this case so that millions of iPhone users across the UK will receive redress for the harm suffered by Apple's actions. If this case is successful, I hope dominant companies will re-evaluate their business models and refrain from this kind of conduct.”

Apple has given a statement to the UK Sun in which it said, “We have

UPS Provident Crowsworn Trailer Shows Hollow Knight Meets Bloodborne Style Gameplay

Imitation, as they say, is the highest form of flattery, and that seems to be a motto to which indie developer Mongoose Rodeo closely adheres. Its upcoming Metroidvania title Crowsworn—the Kickstarter for which was launched a year ago—bears a not-insignificant semblance to many beloved entries in the genre, Team Cherry’s 2017 hit Hollow Knight being chief among them. A new Kickstarter anniversary trailer for Crowsworn recently went up on YouTube, and it showcases gameplay features and visual elements that almost seem to have been directly lifted from Hollow Knight,the game’s primary inspiration.
