  • Apple's $399 'iPhone SE 2' pegged for March 2020 release

    Seems like the perfect phone for a kid wanting an iPhone.  If they really put the A13 in there then this thing will be good to go for 5 years.  Will buy.

  • Apple hit with new iPhone throttling class action in California

    I want to see how the plaintives express harm.  Because without proof of harm, there’s no damages to be had.
    All you have to do is find a sympathetic jury that thinks all companies are evil. These would usually be blue collar individuals, union members, the underemployed. A good lawyer combined with a good jury consultant can hand select a jury almost assured to find for the plaintiff. Once that happens proof of harm doesn’t matter, the law doesn’t matter, nothing matters. That jury will award all it can to the plaintiffs. That’s why these cases are usually settled before any trial. I live in Madison County, Illinois which is known as a judicial hellhole. It’s a unionized, democrat party controlled, lower middle class demographic. One time I was dismissed from jury duty because I had a college education. The minute the plaintiff’s lawyer found out I was educated he gave a thumbs down. Personal injury cases are always filed in Madison County because juries here are 100% guaranteed to find for plaintiffs every time. They like giving money away.
    Something along the lines of "This CORPORATION has made billions..." and a sympathetic jury will award millions.  Just a sad fact.  Doing well means you are cheating in the eyes of some Americans.

  • Apple hit with new iPhone throttling class action in California

    Do auto, boat, tractor, etc makers deal with this when they put electronic governors on their products?  I know they don't for manual governors that have been in place since darn near the beginning of internal combustion engines.  The point is to put safeguards in place to prevent something from destroying itself.  

    Nothing more.  

    I get the anger over this being added AFTER a phone was purchased and people being upset.  But the battery program was instituted to fix the issue for anyone that wanted.  What more should Apple do?  Handle it better?  Yes.  Won't happen again I'm pretty sure.  But beyond that, let it go people!!!

    So is Waze coming down next?  It allows the same feature.

  • Judge certifies class in lawsuit over refurbished AppleCare replacements

    If the items were refurbished by Apple and not marketed or claimed to be "new" then based on the language of the Applecare contract I don't see this being an issue.  Granting class action doesn't mean anything other than the courts dont want a bunch of individual cases to be heard.  Apple can wipe this fear mongering out with one ruling.
