10 years ago, Apple announced an iconic iPhone and a major disappointment
10 years ago to this day, Apple announced one of its most successful iPhones ever. It also launched one of its most disappointing ones.
Apple is likely to reveal the iPhone 15 series at its upcoming September event, which can be exciting, but the launch of a new iPhone is not what it was years ago. Users today can only expect Apple to bring incremental upgrades or too-little-too-late features like a USB-C port.
Samsung fined for allegedly slowing down the Note 4 in an update
Samsung and Apple got fined €5m and €10m respectively for intentionally slowing down Note 4 and iPhone 6 devices with a software update.

Now, Samsung has been fined for allegedly slowing down one of their older devices in an update.
