    And if it is the "end" of the line for that product it just means that we will see another iPhone that uses what worked in the X but without what didn't.  Be that price, functionality, or even market timing.  

    No one thinks the X is a failure, at worst a market proof-of-value.

    Give me the 1980's when those that had tech also understood the tech.
    And the 1980 share price where I could buy 30 shares for $20, too :)

    Sorry, guys, I have to disagree. These batteries are evidence that could show Apple was throttling devices with objectivity good batteries. Maybe the diagnostic data could show the same thing, maybe it would be insufficient. 
    How would the physical battery prove the throttling of a good battery?  Wouldn't they need to associate the battery with diagnostics of the phone (which I thought they aren't testing anymore and just replacing).  If you need that diagnostic data, why risk storing the batteries?

  • Meltdown & Spectre discoveries credited to 22-year-old German genius

    I admittedly haven’t read extensively on the Meltdown/Spectre flaws, but the fact that it’s present in multiple processor from different manufacturers and of different types tells me this is a flaw with the underlying chip design architecture that has been used for many years now without anyone discovering the hole. Kudos to Mr. Horn for discovering the flaw, but reading this and the articles about all the class action lawsuits, I can’t understand how Intel, Apple or any other manufacturer should be held liable for something that no one knew about until 6 months ago at best. Or am I just making the mistake of applying common sense to the law?
    Nailed it...too much common sense.  Lawyers all want to be the first to hit mega-corporations in order to take the lead or make more money on the class action status.  It's a "file first and then figure out standing later" mentality, and it will keep happening as long as there are few to no ramifications.

    I think the request is silly, but because the lawsuit is silly, but also silly is the idea that something they charged their customers to remove from a phone is too dangerous to not destroy.  If it is THAT dangerous then they should be offering to remove them for free to protect their customers.  :wink:
