SAN FRANCISCO — Apple has agreed to pay up to $500 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over claims it covertly slowed older iPhones to get users to upgrade.

A federal judge in California presiding over a group of lawsuits will be asked to approve the proposed settlement at a hearing in early April, according to a court filing on Friday.The litigation centers on stealthy mobile operating software changes in the name of avoiding "unintended power-offs."

The proposed settlement calls for Apple to pay at least $310 million dollars, but no more than $500 million, to compensate affected US iPhone owners and pay lawyers for the plaintiffs, according to court documents. France's consumer watchdog said last month that Apple had agreed to pay 25 million euros in a related case.
