It's big brother does though.
As for the this throttling, it's being blown out of proportions, the only thing Apple did wrong was not being transparent while they should have been, but hey, Apple has always been secretive.
Pardon me if I'm incorrect, but I believe that Apple added the throttling in iOS 10.2.1. So in your case, the issue is iOS 11. I don't know if the upcoming update is going to help you. Major iOS releases turning iOS devices into paperweights is par for the course. Sorry pal.I am going to try this AND get free battery. They is no reason I should have 10 second delay on typing text messages and very slow email (all since ios11). They lied when they said it slows things down SOME. its a heck of a lot.
I’d prefer “0% battery really means 0% battery” and “don’t throttle my phone” switch. I accept a device shutting down at 0%, but not at 30%.
Steve Jobs would have never allowed this to happen!
30+ class action lawsuits and multiple government inquiries state otherwise. Apple is never transparent about anything, not even their iPhone X sales which are dismal to boot.
The main point of this is that they chose the throttling as a solution to a problem regarding how their software taxed the system...that gave them carte blanche to not worry about folks who don't have the newest hardware. There are other solutions that could have sought to optimize software, at least enough, so that people's phones wouldn't shut down under peak load, so that a throttling mechanism was required for those people's phones.
How does this have anything to do with he just said?And then you woulda whined because the phone didn't have whatever new feature or change because of it.
Why would the toggle feature not be on the 8 and X? It should be a part of the OS.Wait, so are iphone 8 and X owners out of luck when their phones start to slow down?
And then you woulda whined because the phone didn't have whatever new feature or change because of it.
i think you are better off then upgradeing too a iphone 8 or 8 pluse
Nothing wrong with letting phones turn off unexpectedly. At least it will be obvious to users that their phones/batteries have problem instead of some half-ass measure that give false sense of security."I'd like my phone to turn off unexpectedly instead of running slowly."
Choices are good, I guess.
As we told our customers in December, we have never — and would never — do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades.
"I'd like my phone to turn off unexpectedly instead of running slowly."
Choices are good, I guess.
Did no one at Apple use iOS7 on the iPhone or iOS7-9 on the iPad 2/iPad Mini?
For me this is not what this is about. For me it’s about battery information. Why was my phone being throttled at 18 months old with an 83% healthy battery."I'd like my phone to turn off unexpectedly instead of running slowly."
Choices are good, I guess.
This is what Apple said would happen ... not what real world users have said. So this claim remains to be seen. I have a feeling a lot of phones won't be randomly shutting down with this off. The incessant need to defend a claim from Apple without verifiable proof is a bit disconcerting.
You clearly know nothing about battery technology. The discharge curve of lipo batteries is very well known, and easily measured. They clearly weren’t “estimates” in previous phone models, nor other manufacturers phones.You’ll be waiting a while for better battery technology. Those percentages are just estimates.
And the phone shuts off when the voltage drops too low, regardless of the estimate.
I never had my iPhone 6S turn off unexpectedly before this was enabled."I'd like my phone to turn off unexpectedly instead of running slowly."
Choices are good, I guess.
Having a choice between a sluggish iPhone, or one that randomly shuts down is hardly a way to improve the experience.
There were reports of new phones experiencing the shutdowns. You can't blame it all on old batteries.
Even if it was just old batteries, I have many really old Apple devices that don't randomly shut down. My 1st gen iPad doesn't, neither does my iPhone 2G. The 6 and 6s seemed to be the ones that have had widespread battery and shutdown issues.
It sounds like a design flaw.
False dichotomy. Should be getting neither things happening on batteries still deemed good by Apple. If either is likely to happen, tell me to get a new battery and don't tell me the one I have is still in spec."I'd like my phone to turn off unexpectedly instead of running slowly."
Choices are good, I guess.
