It only slows down when you push it to it's maximum capacity. Your old iPhone 6 does not have enough difference in power usage between idle and maximum load to see the problem. Newer phones turn off much of the GPU and CPU until needed. They also clock them down when only being used minimally. This lets them sip power very slowly when they are not doing anything and run very fast when needed.
$500M is the max this can go...and Apple would gladly pay it to be done. Like I said, it's pocket change and they can move on.
Like I said, a big nothing for all and a waste of time.
Every company and every worker is out for the money. Naive to even have to point that out. It’s WHAT you’re willing to do for it. Thats’s the chasm.
Powerful move from AAPL today. It appears Apple is also doubling down and buying some shares on the cheap.
The throttling is not the issue, it’s apples vague communication. No one knew the battery was the issue and could be fixed with a swap.
Vague communication? They never told anyone about it until they got caught. Even Joe Rogan thought it was dirty of apple to pull this stunt.
Yes I agree, but it was apparently hinted at as “battery optimization” in one of OS release notes which most people don’t read.
It’s business. You do what you need to do. Morals are non existent in business
Very true. It's all about the numbers. I just wished people realize it more instead of backing their favorite companies. For me, they all want my money, so the ones who makes the best stuff gets my money. No loyalty.
I think the check is somewhere in the $20-$30 range, actually. And may not be automatically sent, rather you have to click a link or return a card, in order to get it sent.
Agreed, except for the word, "tried". I don't think they went to great lengths to hide it, it just didn't occur to them to publicize it, because their nature/culture is to be quiet about things "behind the scenes". It would behoove them to be more upfront in situations like this.
What does this mean? They will do anything including underhanded stuff to get you to part with a dollar, even to the extent of damaging their reputation?
I think more of an issue was your choice to forget about the humble comma in such a long sentence. One use of said comma? Really?
Yes, I do. I rarely use more than 50% of the battery's charge in a single day, but I do notice when things slow down and get throttled. I prefer to have my iPhone running at 100% when I use it.
