The person who exposed Apple’s trick of “intentionally” slowing down older iPhones, forcing the mega-company into a global apology, has been revealed as a teenager from the US state Tennessee.

Tyler Barney, 17, said he exposed the issue after noticing a problem with his iPhone 6.

The high school student wrote about the problems on Reddit, according to a local newspaper, the Tennessean, after his phone “became buggy”.

“It was a big mess all the time. Even typing was painful. Seconds passed between keystrokes,” he said.

Fed up with using his own phone while he waited for an updated operating system to be released by Apple, he decided to try his brother’s iPhone 6.

Although this was an older model, it was about a year younger and was noticeably faster.
