Seriously. How is this even surprising. Forced Upgrades. Same tactics with iPhones. Camera improvements on iPhone 15 with exact the same hardware on the 14, but they won't update it on the 14.
Cool fingertricks on Series 9, that shizzle was already available on older series, once again no update even definitely possible.
Stagemanager on iPad only reserved for the latest gen, but previous gen allegedly could not handle it. S Storm follows. All of a sudden they could pull it off, Apple claiming hard work and dedication made it able to pull it off on earlier gens.
Downgrading the performance on Airpods Max ANC. I said it way before, they gonna re-release the Airpods Max and restore the previous levels claiming XX% improvement over older generations Airpods Max. No S! If you downgrade performance then restore it back to original levels to claim new marketing improvements, basically use these BS recycle schemes even on software levels. Basically let the consumer purchase the device twice!
This says two things: Forced Upgrades or Apple not doing its upmost best. Looking at how we all use beta operating systems on final hardwares these years. I say both.
Also these BS Forced Upgrades Schemes. Battery-Gate, RAM-Gate, Green-Screen Gate, Butterfly-Gate, ANC-Gate.
Apple introducing again new battery health features. Wake up people. They doubling down on this cause the battery health have been decreasing as Apple has been experimenting with recycled materials in batteries since iPhone 14. Why do you think the health declined so fast on these generation. Cause they were already experimenting it on the 14 and now use it as marketing on the 15. Recycled material do not perform the same or better than non recycled material.
