Seoul High Court ordered Apple to compensate seven iPhone consumers who claimed that Apple had deliberately tampered with its iOS operating system to slow down the performance of their phones.
 
The court ordered the U.S. company to pay 70,000 won ($53) to each of them.
 
Seven people made the appeal suit with the high court, disagreeing with the previous ruling.
