Location Based Technologies (LBT) has filed a lawsuit against Apple for violating a patent over the ‘low-power mode’ and ‘facedown detection’ we see on iPhones and iPads. The ‘low-power mode’ feature reduces certain background activities like GPS functionality to conserve battery life, but it allegedly infringes on LBT’s long-standing technology. LBT had informed Apple about the infringement in a notice sent in June.
