  • Apple could bring glass back to 'iPhone SE 2,' rumor says

    LatkoLatko
    I hope someone can do me a favor and ask Apple (as I seem unable to communicate) that the protruding camera should be either LEVELED, REMOVED, ERADICATED, CURATED or ANNIHILATED.
    Same for the glass backside.
    Use Aramid, Carbon fiber or any just as durable material that $200billion can buy.
    And yes, if that turns out to be synthered play-dough: just market it as Ivy-tallic and apply it.

    The company's idea that customers will be comforted with a $50 discount on batteries is as naive as a badass can value his customers themselves.

    It should be time for an A series based MacBook Air or an iOS laptop?
    Then a 30% slowdown on older hardware will be call a, "Feature," and not a bug.
    Well, it would be a feature if the slowdowns prevented a crash that also happens on every other piece of hardware, regardless of age, made by everyone else. 
    Outside of our micro-cosmos, realize Macs are big in numbers but relatively futile in importance. 
    Think of industrial / infra / nuclear consequences...

    Seeing an opportunity from Apple's public relations crisis, some competitors this week issued statements to say that they do not throttle the processing power of older devices.

    That was not a publc relations “crisis” but an engineering and testing issue at first place. Slowness claims started with the release of iOS 11, and testing, locating and fixing the issue took until this date. Apple has identified the issue in adequate time and immediately communicated its findings and solutions. There is no “public relations crisis” at all, but some media outlets and trolls won’t stop and will continue to push to create an artificial crisis, even after that. As always, their efforts will be futile...

    You'd better say intelligent collaboration to use of "natural" degradation as a proclaimed cause for "measures" and throttling too early (treshold set before 80%) This is planned obsolescense which they couldn't publicly reveal. It took fairly long to create their public letter that is neither lying nor telling the whole truth. There are lots of loopholes left here, so this is damage control in a rudimentary form. Class action lawsuits will continue.
