* I'm able to make comparisons between companies. - Google with the Pixel 2XL knowingly sold a defective screen which quickly has burnin issues. Google denies there is a problem.
- Apple does not sell phones which have screen burnin after a few days.
Also, Apple is addressing the issue of wear and tear on the iPhone 6. They offer a low cost battery replacement option. Apple is trying to fix the shutdown problem in software.
- From my view, I prefer dealing with Apple over Google.
Why do people always drag other companies into the question if something is wrong or not when considering another company. OK, it might be a BITrelevant but mostly its just an OBSERVATION, and nothing else. Its like saying that because "my neighbour wont sort his garbage", or "Chinese polute so much" that I dont need to be better at what I´m doing.
Making this change to prevent shut downs makes sense. NOT telling customers about it is unforgivable. This is going to cost Apple in reputation, legal fees and settlements.
They do tell you in the Settings app.
My friends 6 had his battery replaced after he saw the warning in the Battery section of settings.
I’m all in for this suit - according to Apple there was nothing wrong with my phone and if I wanted to replace the battery it would cost X. All it does is shit down spontaneously. When I go to restart it says it’s a dead battery - the second the charger is attached, the battery is back at 75%
If your phone was out of warranty then yeah its going to cost you. But Apple said battery not phone. Which goes against almost every suit that has been filed, as they claim this whole thing is a stunt to make you buy a new iPhone. Clearly they didn’t in your case
I've been using Apple products since PowerPC era. Converted many PC users to Apple machines.
I could be considered an Apple fanboy. Unfortunately Apple is making it harder and harder for people like me. That is why, the iPhone i own will be the last one.
If any of that was true then they WOULDN"'T ALLOW OLDER DEVICES TO GET THE LATEST OSES AND FEATURES AT ALL! This means less work for Apple and more feature envy for customers with older devices. Do you people ever think before you post?
Did you think before posting this?! Less work for Apple?!! It would mean less money for Apple. Pay attention - this has been and is happening whether you like it of not. What do you mean, "they wouldn't allow" that to happen - they have and didn't say a word about it to clue people in. Deal with the reality of the situation.
Apple spends many millions of dollars in adopting, testing and supporting iOS for older devices… but you think this is at no charge for Apple. Apple now has older iPhones going back up to 5 years that have new features which keeps customers using older devices… but you think that users being stuck on an antiquated OS would hinder a desire to get new iPhones with new HW and SW features.
Instead. you create a conspiracy theory that Apple gives users new features and then makes devices not work so that myopic dipshits like you believe that an old device with an old battery is somehow purposely and maliciously hindered in SW so you're forced to buy a new device despite your claims that it's just driving you to drop Apple entirely. What a reasonable comment¡
I'm not sure how much Apple tests their latest iOS versions in old devices. In my personal experience, "upgrading" a +3 years old device is not necessarily for the better. The performance hit is noticeable, and many times it would be better if I had it left with the previos versions. But since Apple force users to keep the latest iOS version, the only option you have to recover the performance is replacing the device. And this experience applies to iPhone and iPads.
Wrong. You make a backup before you update the device. If things don’t work out for the better, you revert to the backup. I believe you are given ample warning prior to all updates.
This is the one with legs. Though the iPhone 6/6+ aren’t new, some recently purchased phones saw the slowdowns while the battery still tested “good” at the Apple store (based on comments on the subject here over the last couple of days). A judge will decide based on the preponderance of evidence, which is:
- a previously admitted battery flaw and replacement program - a previous admission that the shutdown problem grew to affect other models - a newly admitted slowdown algorithm that kicks in before the Genius Bar says the battery is eligible for replacement - performance results that are half of the phone’s performance when new
In this context it will be very difficult for Apple to claim their motivation was user experience, since it sucks anyway at half-speed.
-flaw was due to defective batteries used in manufacturing/not likely to be relevant
-that admission may be more about aging batteries than defective batteries/relevance remains to be seen
-slowdown is specific to voltage issues, lithium ion batteries begin to have a steep voltage drop at 20% charge or lower/relevant, but Apple's liability seems limited
-benchmark software automatically triggers throttling regardless of voltage level/not relevant, proof would be a standard app that is slowed down by half with nominal voltage.

You where cought on video with your licence plate and face with a shotgun in a bank and cought with the loot?
PS. normally what it looks like is going to be determined in a court of law with some kind of proof?
