- vladvasiliu 5y agoI'd be curious what the prices were before this lawsuit. [0] is a September, 2019 article from France, stating that prices went up to 55 euros for the iPhone 7 and similar models. Since I paid 60 one year ago, that means that the trend is upward, right? I've also seen somewhere (can't find it right now) that talks specifically about the throttling issue, and apparently this concerns a one-time battery replacement for 29 euros. This leads me to believe that the 60 euros I've paid were the "regular price", not some discount because of the lawsuit. But maybe prices have been brought down, broadly speaking, as a side effect. --- [0] https://www.igen.fr/iphone/2019/09/apple-augmente-le-prix-du-remplacement-de-la-batterie-hors-garantie-109923 https://www.igen.fr/iphone/2019/09/apple-augmente-le-prix-du...
