Apple's Illegal & Immoral Practices

Apple has always found ways to rip off their customers. For example, if you're not using an "Apple Certified" charger, your iPhone won't charge at its max charging speed. They've purposely designed their products so their batteries can't be replaced, shortening the life of the product so you'll have to buy a new one. They designed their iPhone's without an SD Card slot so they could charge astronomical prices for storage space. For a long time, Macs wouldn't read Word files. Not to mention, their products are and have always been overpriced. Here's a list of just some of their Illegal and Immoral practices.

In 2025 Apple has agreed to pay $95 Million to settle a case where Siri were listening to people without their permission.

In 2025 Apple has agreed to pay a $20 Million settlement after users experienced battery swell while using their Apple Warches.

In 2024 Apple was ordered to pay $25 Million for unlawful charges, an anti-competitive agreement, storage capacity deception and child sexual abuse material on the company’s iCloud service. 

In 2024 Apple paid out $500 Million for intentionally slowing down their phones to increase sales.

In 2024 Apple was forced by The European Union to change their charging ports to the standard C-Type charger. Apple had purposely kept thier Lightning charger at the expense of their customers.

In 2024 Apple paid $35 Million in refunds to consumers who were tricked into buying Apple iTunes and AppStore gift cards.

In 2022 Apple was forced to pay $19 Million by a Brazilian court for not including chargers with their new phones.

In 2022, Apple settled a class-action lawsuit for $30 million to California retail employees, for violating labor laws by not compensating employees.

In 2018, in Canada, Apple agreed to pay between $11-14.4 Million CAD for the premature aging of their iPhone, and in the performance of the iPhone batteries; misrepresentations or intentional concealment concerning the foregoing.

In 2016 Apple settled a lawsuit with the Department of Justice for $450 million, for conspiring with publishers to raise e-book prices. 

Apple's currently facing lawsuits for lying about the battery life in their AirPods, knowingly selling faulty AirPods that produce a crackling noise. An anti-trust suit by the Department of Justice for monopolizing the smartphone market and using anticompetitive practices, false advertising and unfair competition, lying about the carbon neutrality of their Apple Watches, And More...

Guys, there's so many, too many to list! Do a search for yourself, Google "Apple lawsuit history." You'll see...

But, none of this matters to them because they're a Trillion Dollar company, so it's just a drop in the bucket. Why do y'all keep supporting them??!

You Can Now Pay Your Muni and BART Fares By Waving Your Apple Watch or iPhone Over a Clipper Reader

Clipper Card is now available on iPhone and Apple Watch with an express mode that lets you just tap and pay without having to unlock your phone first.

SFist took a rather dour tone and paints the Bay Area as late a late adopter when only a few dozen cities and regional transit systems around the world so far support Apple Pay, with or without the express mode feature.

At last, a couple years behind other cities, San Francisco now has added Apple Wallet and Apple Watch paying capability on mass transit, with Android capability on the way soon.

As SFist reported in February, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the intramodal Clipper Card finally got around to adding mobile payments during the pandemic. Now, as of Thursday, riders on BART and Muni can just wave their iPhone or Apple Watch over a Clipper reader to pay fares on trains and buses. Clipper Cards can be added to the Apple Wallet, and be managed using a new Clipper Card app.

A mobile app and payment system were among the $194 million worth of upgrades included in the 2017 renewal of the Clipper Card contract and scheduled to be complete by 2023.

Last week's launch isn't even off the original promise of a beta by the end of 2020 and a full launch within 1-2 years. It's easy to imagine the beta testing – which must still be underway for Android devices – was just done privately by staff and a limited pool of testers because of COVID-19.
