How many time has Apple been sued over this patent? I realize that apparently Apple has been appealing and haven’t paid a dime (good for you Apple), but this back and forth is causing tax payers pretty penny!

You simply cannot predict sales based on supply chain data. This has never worked and never will. There are far too many variables.

And Timmy has mentioned it enough time and have always proved them wrong. But they keep coming back for more punishment. 

This is really getting ridiculous! First of, I do feel what Apple did, slowing down the phone, was to provide better value for the customer. It allows them to push their buying decision for new phone further down the line. Rechargeable batteries do have some end of life. As far as the speed goes, let's get real - Phones are communication and utility device, they are not solving some mission critical problem where a slowness is impacting the owners need. Yes, Apple did one thing wrong. Not informing their customer that they are switching into that mode. Couldn't they have used the "Power Save" mode to do exactly what they were doing otherwise? 

In any case, Apple apologized and I think they have provided a generous deal for battery replacement. What I don't like is some French government action prompted this administration to question Apple and that too from an official who doesn't understand technology. Maybe, we should have out representative go question auto car manufacturer - It is commonly known that there are speed governors in car with electronics where it controls your max speed limit. The car can really go much more faster. Obviously the car companies do it so for the safety of the owner of the car, but also so that it doesn't destroy the engine due to prolonged running of engine at higher speed. Kind of sound familiar, doesn't it.

All Apple has to do now is remove that throttling algorithm and let the phone battery drain and now the customer will have to go ahead and buy a new phone. At least, this way Apple of helping those customer to make their phone last longer. Also, all of this, because  of Li-On battery and this is the best form of batter technology easily available out there. I am sure Apple would rather have customer upgrade to newer equipments.

Interesting! I just wish people should stop suggesting that his was hacked. Maybe Apple should bring the mother-son pair in and use them as the test subject and improve the FaceID. This is the first version of FaceID - I am sure there is room for improvement.
