Why you shouldn't worry about radiation from your Wi-Fi router or iPhone
While all the studies have been focused on the physical impact of the electromagnetic radiation, I believe the real skeletons are on the psychological side, where barely any studies have been conducted. I can personally attest from experience that I can form much clearer and coherent thoughts when I am away from electronics and Radio Frequency induced areas.
When it comes to the harm from the Sun, the dangers are simply overblown. After all, if you are looking for evidence, we have hundreds of millions of years of safely evolving under the Sun to our current state of becoming Human. Nothing else has this length of a proven safety record. You can even say that Sun is a giver of life of all kinds and types, without which nothing would be existent.

Qualcomm adopts cheaper licensing for 5G tech, hoping to appeal to Apple & others
This is a typical corporate profits model where the fees are RELATIVELY plausible at first and once Qualcomm elbows out the competition that’s when the prices start going up like in a typical monopoly market. Like Qualcomm did with 3G and 4G licensing. Companies and people have to resist the temptation of short term gains resulting in long term pains. Good luck with that!

China adds to government pressure on Apple over iPhone slowdowns
Exactly, my thoughts too. Throttling is neither moral nor acceptable. It’s reprehensible. What happens when newer models start slowing down because of deliberate performance undermining. It doesn’t matter what fancy words people have been using to justify this like “power management” or “peak power offload”. I liked the battery management of previous iPhones MUCH MUCH MUCH better. Whereby if your phone is draining faster you know you have to replace the battery. Simple as that. No need to slow down an entire phone to save a $29 battery cost. Seriously!k2kw said:
Apple expanded the Throttling to iPhone 7 line with iOS 11. I believe that they did this do to an unusually high number of replacements under AppleCare in the second year. As most add on Warrantee products are considered insurance, Apple may have broken insurance law. Hopefully there will be at least a coupe in-depth investigations. At this point I don't take Apple at their word even when I like their products.jume said:
So you are IT - well done. IT guys always know everything. Been a SW dev for over 20 years and working with IT guys has always been a challenge. You are probably the smartest species alive knowing just about anything in tech, politics, law and just about everything else.magman1979 said:
Get over myself? When you come in here blazing nonsense and more BS? Listen, I'm an ACSP of 7 years, and in the IT field for almost 24 years now, so I know a thing or two more about technology and how it works than you armchair trolls, get over yourselves.jume said:
It's not stupid bullshit. It was made deliberately to sell more phones and there was no communication to us or Apple store workers to handle this in the right way when your phone gets slow. Nobody knew this was because of old battery. I still don't believe it's just because of the old battery. I have replaced mine. The settings do not show warning of crippled battery, but the phone is still utterly slow. Nothing like first two years when I bought it. And don't shit me it's the apps thing. I have the same apps from the day I bought my iPhone 6.magman1979 said:
Great, another uneducated armchair commentator who thinks he knows everything and makes asinine comments pushing forward a pitchfork agenda against Apple... Getting sick of seeing this stupid BS online...mike54 said:Good. Apple deserves it.
Now I wish governments would go after Intel for their security debacle which has a bigger and more important impact that will last for years.
Get ok with it. Apple screwed up big time here and it's time to pay back.
I wonder what would be your and other fanboy alike comments if this was Samsung case?!? You would probably shit all over Samsung for it... Grow up kids. Apple make great products, but their quality is very questionable in recent years. It's not just #throttlegate. Also premium priced iPhoneX doesn't feel that premium at all and it's full of usability quirks. For the most expensive product in it's niche you would not expect that.
There should be more pressure on Apple. They need to step up their game and improve!
Bottom line, you get fed the media narrative, make some asinine assumptions about the situation, then run with it as gospel, and when someone with even an ounce of logic and reasoning comes in to provide proper information, you take a shit on them.
If you hate the product that much, and think it sucks that bad, fine, get rid of it and get a junker Android and be happy with that garbage. No one is pointing a gun to your head to keep Apple products!
And I can GUARANTEE, that if you've replaced your battery, and the phone is still having performance issues, there is another underlying cause, and it has NOTHING to do with any sort of battery impedance / voltage throttling implemented by iOS.
And you still don't get it. I am replacing my battery no questions asked. But that's not the problem in this case. It's not why law suits are being filled. Apple could have been clear with this since the "feature" was released and I would have replaced the battery a year ago and no-one would have any comments about it. Instead they have kept their mouth shut until someone find-out and went public with it. I am sure Apple sold millions of iPhones more due to this secrecy regarding the CPU throttling and everyone at Apple was happy pocketing millions thanks to this "feature". They have not just lied to the customers they have also broken law. At list some of the EU laws that is.

China adds to government pressure on Apple over iPhone slowdowns
You are missing the point. The point he was making was not making a run to the Apple store but how Apple has mis-handled this issue. You don’t put a wrap around an older car and keep you from driving it in order to make the car last LONGER. It’s not the right solution.
But I am curious. Have you actually taken your iPhone in to an Apple store and have them check your battery? I took my old 6 plus in and they said it was pretty much depleted. So they put me on the waiting list for the $29 battery replacement (may be waiting a couple months on that unfortunately). If you’ve got a bad battery then your whining is rather pointless. Go get it checked out and stop being a crybaby.

Thank you for your honesty in standing up for yourself and others and for what’s right. Even if a mistake has been perpetrated by a company loved by many. It is only through constructive criticism and brutal honesty can we keep a great company like Apple great. Otherwise, Apple will relegate it’s coveted top spot of much good will, trust and confidence to others.jume said:
Well said agree 100%.ClarityToSee said:A lot of the fanboys here feel an uncontrollable urge to jump to Apple’s rescue unconsciously either because they haven’t had the opportunity to experience the slowdown and associated glitchiness themselves OR because they replace their phones too fast to even be bothered by this issue OR because they are willing to overlook this issue because of Apple’s record so far of being the best in being environmentally friendly OR because they feel that they are supporting humanity go in the right direction by supporting a company that operates on a morally high ground in general whether it be by protecting consumer data impartially or protecting the environment. And I am not disputing or invalidating any of the above reasons. They are all valid and genuinely deserve praise.
However, I will make the critique where it is justifiably due. I was so frustrated with my iPhone one day that I wanted to smash it against the wall and never look back? Why you ask? Because it got so slow that it was like watching paint dry on the wall. And it didn’t shut off at 2% to save the internals like someone here mentioned but rather it shut off
randomly at anything, even at 90% or 80%. One time I got stuck on the side of the road in a wind storm with power outage in the area with a broken car and I couldn’t make a single phone call to a tow truck or to my spouse to save my life because it got so glitchy and slow. I randomly had to ask for an Android phone who a stranger walking by happened to own to make a phone call. You can imagine why I am so upset at Apple over this battery issue. This was never an issue with my previous iPhones where I noticed the battery draining too fast and I just had the battery replaced. Simple as that. But this time with the IPhone 6, it was a complete disaster. And I didn’t know to expect phone shutting down at 80% or 50% or something else. And from what I hear this is going to be a common practice by Apple for all IPhones starting with iPhone 6. This is going to be a nightmare, God forbid if you ever got stuck with a little older iPhone in your pocket, and the same thing happened to you that happened to me, especially with climate change and colder winters, I will pray for you.
That's exactly my experience. I love Apple but I will not justify their wrong doing just because Apple is a great company. I have given thousands and thousands of Euros to them and I expect they treat me fairly and not hide something like this from me or anyone. I lost to much nerves due to my unusable iPhone, just like you described.
Being brutally honest, there is a good chance that this was intentionally done to push people to buy new phones without revealing any of the details of phone slow downs and throttling policies implemented internally. You know why I suspect that? Because there was LOTS of money involved. How much ? $250Million to be exact in stock options, compensation and bonus. That’s how much Tim Cook got compensated this year for meeting his goals and quotas set by the board of directors. When you have that much money in the balance, it will give anyone a pause for a second or two and start to question their beliefs and objectives. Only the spiritually adept of us can overcome such a temptation to forego $250 Million dollars in favor of hanging onto their moral mantel.
