Justin Gutmann asserts the organization deluded clients over an update that it said would improve execution in any case, truth be told, dialed telephones back.
He is looking for harms of around £768m for up to 25 million UK iPhone clients.
Apple says it has "never" deliberately abbreviated the existence of its items.
The case, which has been documented with the Competition Appeal Tribunal, claims Apple dialed back the exhibition of more seasoned iPhones, in a cycle known as "choking", to keep away from costly reviews or fixes.
It connects with the presentation of a power the executives apparatus delivered in a product update to iPhone clients in January 2017, to battle execution issues and prevent more seasoned gadgets from unexpectedly closing down.
- Apple to pay $113m to settle iPhone 'batterygate'
Mr Gutmann, a buyer champion, says the data regarding the device was excluded from the product update download depiction at that point, and that the organization neglected to clarify that it would dial back gadgets.
He guarantees that Apple acquainted this device with conceal the way that iPhone batteries might have battled to run the most recent iOS programming, and that as opposed to reviewing items or offering substitution batteries, the firm rather pushed clients to download the product refreshes.
Mr Gutmann expressed: "Rather than doing the respectable and legitimate thing by their clients and offering a free substitution, fix administration or pay, Apple rather deceived individuals by disguising a device in programming refreshes that eased back their gadgets by up to 58%."
The models covered by the case are the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X models.
It is a quit guarantee, and that implies clients won't have to effectively join the case to look for harms.
In an explanation, Apple said: "We have never, and could, do nothing to purposefully abbreviate the existence of any Apple item, or debase the client experience to drive client redesigns.
"Our objective has forever been to make items that our clients love, and making iPhones keep going as far as might be feasible is a significant piece of that."
Apple has been spooky by purported "batterygate" for quite a while in spite of the fact that it has consistently demanded its expectations were noteworthy.
Its CEO Tim Cook made the exceptionally strange stride of saying 'sorry' in 2018 to "anyone that thinks we had some other sort of inspiration".
Pundits say the update drove individuals into purchasing fresher gadgets as their more seasoned telephones decisively dialed back while completing genuinely standard capabilities like Facetime keeping a product update.
Apple expresses the inverse is valid - broadening their lifespan was attempting. The tech goliath later offered limited trade batteries for iPhone 6 or more.
There are two more extensive issues here: one is the manner by which contraptions overall become old relatively rapidly, as they become unfit to deal with the most recent and most progressive programming refreshes that drive them.
The tech firms say these updates are fundamental for keep gadgets secure and working at their best yet they before long overwhelm more established equipment - that is, more slow processors and more established batteries with less power.
As batteries age they need charging all the more as often as possible, and this is the subsequent point: the more remarkable a compact gadget turns into, the more eager for power it becomes. The regular existence of a lithium-particle battery is 500 charge cycles.

Batterygate
The case by Mr Gutmann comes two years after a comparative case was gotten comfortable the United States.
In 2020, Apple consented to pay $113m to settle claims that it dialed back more seasoned iPhones.
33 US states guaranteed that Apple had done this to drive clients into purchasing new gadgets.
A huge number of individuals were impacted when the models of iPhone 6 and 7 and SE were dialed back in 2016 in an outrage that was named batterygate.
At that point, Apple declined to remark, notwithstanding, it had recently said the telephones were eased back to protect maturing battery duration.
Claire Holubowskyj, an examiner at the exploration firm Enders Analysis, said issues like this might keep on springing up, given the specialized limits of maturing batteries.
"Innovation in more current gadgets works on quickly, not as a consistent creep, making issues while delivering programming refreshes which need to chip away at gadgets with frequently stunningly various capacities," Ms Holubowskyj said.
"Apple produces 84% of its income from selling new gadgets, making them hesitant to keep down updates to guarantee more established models continue to work without a hitch."
She added: "Until issues of gadgets and programming refreshes outliving and surpassing the capacities of maturing batteries are settled, this challenge will repeat."
