Trust is the real issue here iphone 6

The real issue is Trust from Apple.  If the battery was the issue, it wasn't made as a notice to the end user.  Apple should have given the consumer a choice to run a ios update or a software program to deal with this issue, but to do this secretly without the consumers knowledge of what Apple was doing to a customers iphone (property) is a disgrace to Apple.  
I believe if Steve Jobs was still alive there would be a lot of Apple IT engineers looking for new jobs.  
Buying a new iPhone is like buying a new car, let the consumer test it and find the bugs.  When Steve Jobs was alive Apple would have never had as many ios updates as there has been in the last year. IPhone X retails for $999.00 for $100.worth of parts made in China.   
Product = Trust,  not how much money you can charge for it.

I don't know if others had noticed after one of the many ios updates, indoor video recording quality went down low light.

    Under the second coming of Steve:

    Hockey-puck mouse.
    Cube
    Apple clear ADC studio CRT display with the terrible flyback transformer.
    Unreliable G4 mirrored drive-door towers
    eMac 700Mhz issues
    Show-stopping bugs in every version of macOS 9, and OS X.

    There are more, and dozens more from his first reign in the 70s and 80s.

    I agree that trust is an issue. But, saying that these things didn't happen under Jobs is demonstrably false.

    That is true, but he did put the fear in his employee that he would show them the door if they didn't get it correct.

    Apple isn’t a monolithic entity and mistakes always happen. There isn’t anything sinister here. Engineering thought they were making the right decision in making sure the phone doesn’t crash due to the battery not being able to deliver enough current for high power situations. This is in fact the right fix from an engineering perspective.

    Apple PR does not review bug fixes. Apple senior management doesn’t review bug fixes. Both entities if they knew the nature of the bug fix would have either made it clear to communicate what they were doing or institute a battery replacement program, or both. Now, looks like you can get a new battery for $30. That’s a good deal. 

    And all this “new bugginess” is symptomatic of the instant communications nature of society today. I would bet a lot that bugs per line of code or issues per product have is less now than they were 5, 10, 20 years ago.
