U.S. and French Officials Question Apple Over iPhone Slowdown

Apple is facing questions from government officials in the U.S. and France over its slowdown of iPhones with degraded batteries, reports the WSJ. On Tuesday, Senator John Thune, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, pressed Apple for answers in a letter to CEO Tim Cook.

Mr. Thune asked how Apple has tracked customer complaints of processing performance and if Apple has explored offering rebates to customers who paid full price for a battery replacement before the company offered discounted rates last month.

In France, an investigation has been opened into Apple for potential deception and 'programmed obsolescence'. The investigation is being run by the consumer protection agency overseen by the country's finance ministry.
