The Iphone case: pcadrianortega https://padlet.com/pcadrianortega/y1v1pd5x9uty6zwh/wish/548918142 which is an association, accused Apple of deliberately slowing down iphones without notice. This partnership accused them of reducing and deliberating the performance of older processors by being aware of what they were doing and without notifying the customer that they were purchasing this product. Following the allegations and criticisms, Apple decided to apologise publicly and offered those affected a discount on the batteries, obviously FACUA did not think it was enough.]]> 2020-05-04 11:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/pcadrianortega/y1v1pd5x9uty6zwh/wish/548918142 2.

Fairphone
The Fairphone improves the conditions of people who make it and uses materials that are better for the planet.
