Apple and Samsung have been fined in Italy after an investigation concluded that major software updates had a negative impact on their smartphones' performance. In a report from The Guardian, Each company was fined 5 million Euros (roughly Php307 million) after Italy's Antitrust arm found that “Apple and Samsung implemented dishonest commercial practices” and that operating system updates “caused serious malfunctions and significantly reduced performance, thus accelerating phones’ substitution”. This comes as a few users owning a Galaxy Note 4 phone complained when Samsung seeded a new version of Google’s Android operating system intended for the more recent Galaxy Note 7, but which users claimed rendered the old model sluggish. Likewise, iPhone 6 users who were seeded iOS 10, the mobile operating system of the iPhone 7, experienced significant slowdowns both in performance and battery life. Samsung has this thing with slider phones so all the 3 new ones are just that.
