  • Sonos greets Apple HomePod's arrival with joking Spotify playlist

    Sonos is scared that they will die soon.
    Unitl HomePod actually becomes "smart" Sonos and others have nothing to be scared about. HomePod at this stage is just pretty expensive and good sounded BT speaker...

    Even though such would be going against what Apple normally does, they could please everybody with a simply Preference setting:

    ON = Slow my phone as my battery ages so I get more life out of my battery.

    OFF = Allow my phone to suddenly and randomly shut off as the battery ages.

     It really is that simple.
    So let me get this straight in my head. 

    You’re suggesting that Apple puts an option on their phone, asking users if it would be okay to let the phone crash rather than avoid the crash. 

    That’s what you’re suggesting.

    Seriously. 

    Could I ask, what kind of stuff you’re doing where you would prefer it to crash rather than slow down during peak loads?
    And of course now that Tim Cook announced just this feature (http://appleinsider.com/articles/18/01/17/iphone-owners-will-be-able-to-disable-cpu-throttling-in-future-ios-version-cook-says) you will write to Apple and tell them they are wrong ?

    If the CPU throttling insures the best customer experience, please, you are more then welcome come using my iPhone 6, which is BARELY USABLE and frequently UNUSABLE  due to this update! User experience at its best.... NOT.
    It is entirely possible that the software update you blame for crippling your iPhone did modify the battery management algorithm, making performance worse.

    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 $29 battery replacement (may be waiting a couple months on that unfortunately).  If you’ve got a bad battery then your whining is rather pointless.  Go get it checked out and stop being a crybaby.
    Not crying. There is no 29$ battery replacement in Europe. It costs 59 EURO over here. Still this does not change the fact that Apple was intentionally covering up this mess and eventually had to spent 1 year with crippled iPhone. 
    Mmm. Where in Europe are you? This replacement service is supposed to be worldwide. 
    In Slovenia, central EU. The $29 price in US is anyway price without tax. All Apple prices in EU are anyway higher then US by default + added tax which in average is around 20%. And yes it costs 59 EURO with the new discount. Before 125 EURO.
    Right so they have dropped the price. It was just bloody expensive to begin with. Still doesn’t sound right to me though. 
    Well 256GB iPhone X in USA costs 1149$ + tax which is around 1010 EURO and here it costs 1400 EURO which is around 1710$ in todays currency rate... Crazy!

    Yes we are suggesting that because it would be good for everyone. I would rather have app working and crashing from time to time then not working at all. Apps crash anyway with new or old battery. 
    If the apps are not working at all then you have a different problem than the processor slowing down. 
    No it's not and I am not the only one. So if camera app is unresponsive and takes 10s before I can shot something, this is the same as not working for me.
