    If they had told people what they were doing before just slowing peoples phones down without their consent it would be different.

    This action is tantamount to malware being pushed out as a software update. More reason to NOT trust company updates.

    And now to restore the device to previous conditions the user must pay for a new battery?! How is this not equal to randsomware?! Having to spend money that had not been planned on being spent until this is basically extortion.

    At $29 a pop just how many millions will this make them?! This is outrageous, and just laughable that some of the people commenting here are just fine with this as it is.

    This just happened to slow down old devices at the exact same time as new Apple phones being sold too! This is too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence.

    I feel Apple has overstepped with this whole situation. The price reduction on a maintenance that wasn't needed until their actions is not a fix of any kind.

    As it stands now, I have no plans to buy anything Apple again. Microsoft, and Apple both are making some boneheaded decisions lately. I almost think they might just be the same company secretly.

    They were caught red handed. Me paying them for their actions is not going to make me feel any better about this in any way.

    If this was all fine, then why was it secretly/silently done?
    What planet are you from, where batteries don’t wear out and/or for profit corporations replace them for you for free for life?

    What brand car do you drive, where you get free battery replacements?
    The planet is Earth, where phones that worked well on iOS 10 started unexpectedly shutting down under iOS 11. 
    You mean as the same batteries got another year older? Yep, that how it works, son. You battery will not perform its job to be done eternally. It has a limited life span. Just like your car’s. You change your car battery, right? Do you claim to be entitled to free car batteries? Why not? Oh because you know that’s absurdly stupid. 
    Let's try this again: after updating the software with the latest update from Apple, if your phone shuts down unexpectedly, but did not shut down unexpectedly  before (not one year before, but just before you updated the software), you do not think it is the software update at fault, but the battery? The battery was the same age for both versions of code.

    Everyone on here that said Apple did nothing wrong, should keep paying $80 for their battery replacements.
    Paying $80 bucks after you recharged your battery 800 times is NORMAL unless you think Apple should pay for god damn tires if they sold a car hey logic boy.

    So, go away troll, buy a Note 8 or S8 which dies quick and dirty and doesn't come back.
     


    Exactly my point, people like you should keep paying $80.

    Who would they jail?
    Let's assume they find a smoking gun, an e-mail where one person says to the other: let's slow down the CPU, and we'll shoot two birds with one stone: fix the unexpected shutdowns, and at the same time, if the phone slows down noticeably, the person is more likely to be nudged towards buying a new phone, then those people could go do jail. But you already knew that executives can be held personally responsible, right?

  • Second class action suit surrounding Apple's throttling of iPhones with depleted batteries...

    AI_liasAI_lias
    Here are some facts. Each time a new iOS is released, people come here and complain about their devices being slow, and decreased battery life. This is already something that happens every time a new iOS major version comes out, and has become just another part of the Apple experience. I don't think anyone can deny this. iOS features are being added which slow down older iPhones and drain their batteries faster than the old iOS version it replaced. Then, when some people want to go back to the prior version, Apple stops signing it, so they can boast about how many people are on the new iOS version. Now, the reasons behind this slowing down, and decreased battery life, are not clearly known. But that does not take a way from the fact that this happens, and is not a good experience in the Apple ecosystem. That's why the rumors of planned obsolescence  started, based on this. And that is why Apple does not get the benefit of the doubt now when they made a mistake, by some people.
