A UK consumer champion has launched a more than £750m legal claim against Apple, linked to an incident in 2017 around a power management tool on older iPhone models.

Justin Gutmann has accused the tech giant of slowing down the performance of iPhone handsets - a process known as"throttling".

It alleges that Apple misled users over the incident by pushing them to download software updates it said would improve the performance of some devices but in fact slowed them down. He claims that Apple introduced this tool to disguise the fact that iPhone batteries were unable to cope with new iOS processing demands.
