The same French environmentalist group that in 2020 won a 25 million euros lawsuit against Apple is now making a new complaint.
that this complaint filed with the Public Prosecutor targets an “increasingly widespread practice by the manufacturer: serialization.” With that, Apple associates the serial numbers of iPhone components via its chip and software, so users can’t repair their phones without Apple’s authorization.
The group states that “these practices undermine not only the Right to Repair but also the development of refurbished smartphones.” The complaint filed by HOP has almost 60 pages showing what Apple could be prosecuted for.Offenses assimilated to planned obsolescence – in which Apple agreed to pay 25 million euros to the group due to this matter in 2020.
HOP also tackles Apple’s efforts to become carbon neutral by 2030, saying that “nearly four million iPhones are sold yearly in France. However, nearly 80% of the environmental footprint of a smartphone is generated during its manufacture.”
