AT&T is offering hefty holiday bonuses to celebrate the passing of the GOP tax bill.

NATIONAL — It’s a controversy that Apple has finally put to rest by admitting they slow down older iPhones.

The company says they have a good reason for doing it because the older the phone, the older the battery and that means more room for potential problems.

They say older batteries can cause iPhones to shut down without warning and they created the slow-down software to prevent this from happening.

Apple says the SE, 6, 6S and 7 are all impacted by this software.
