Apple is facing a $5 million lawsuit claiming the tech giant’s iOS 9 crippled the 2011 iPhone 4S and made it unfit for daily use.

The new suit was filed in a New York district court on Tuesday, reported Apple Insider, suggesting the firm willingly advertised iOS 9 as being backwards compatible with the phone even though it knew about potential problems.

What’s more, the suit alleges that the new operating system made the iPhone 4S unusable. It says Apple schemed to force users into upgrading to new phones.
