\u00a0The drama surrounding\u00a0Apple’s old\u00a0iPhone\u00a0batteries isn’t over yet.Four U.S. House Republicans sent a letter to\u00a0Apple\u00a0CEO Tim Cook on Friday asking for answers on\u00a0batterygate.<\/p>\n

In December,\u00a0Apple admitted to throttling the speed of older iPhones\u00a0to increase\u00a0batteryperformance, a long-time conspiracy theory among\u00a0iPhone\u00a0users that turned out to be true. As a result,\u00a0Apple\u00a0issued an\u00a0apology to its customers, and announced reduced pricing for out-of-warranty\u00a0iPhone\u00a0battery\u00a0replacement, from $79 to $29.<\/p>\n

But the apology and explanation from the billion dollar company wasn’t enough for House Republicans, who want more answers on the subject,\u00a0according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

The report also notes that U.S. Senator John Thune sent a similar letter to\u00a0Apple\u00a0on Tuesday. Thune is the chair on the the Senate Commerce Committee.<\/p>\n

Cook reportedly made $12.8 million in 2017, according to\u00a0a statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n
