<\/p>\n

\tApple agreed to pay $18 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it intentionally sabotaged the FaceTime video and audio calling app on nearly 3.6 million iPhones.<\/p>\n

The settlement proposal, filed by the tech company in a California federal court, covers iPhones running on iOS 6 or earlier.<\/p>\n

Consumers leading the class action claimed Apple intentionally slowed the performance of older iPhones in an attempt to push users into upgrading to iOS 7 or stop using FaceTime.<\/p>\n

This, the lawsuit claimed, stemmed from a patent spat between Apple and VirnetX [1] covering a data transfer relay technology, which the iPhone maker allegedly stopped using in the later versions of its operating system to duck licensing fees.<\/p>\n

Apple’s proposal will see 90 per cent of the class action members receive compensation of around $3 each.<\/p>\n

In February, Apple lost its latest bid to overturn a ruling in favour of VirnetX, with the vendor facing a financial penalty of $439.7 million as a result.<\/p>\n
