I just LOL at how people think they have all the credible information just because they're reading the sources that they chose. Really, there are a lot more to what you read on the internet. And I know how some violence is inflicted on the innocent because... the INTERNET!

Simple explanation. The western media will never report positive news for China. This will be like slapping their faces after demonizing China for decades and more. 

Okay, give me five positive news stories for China that you think are being ignored by the western media.

So it does affect the use of the phone, as you can no longer see the battery health, despite the phone knowing that data, and it seemingly will not go into "peak performance protection" mode. Ok then.

And some how we all survived and used our smartphones just fine before this battery health stuff existed. IMO this is one of those things that just gets people all riled up yet it probably impacts a small percentage of users. But we live in the age of everyone being constantly outraged over something.

If you have nothing constructive or concrete to add to the Commenters section get the hell out! This topic is about a specific tech issue; not world peace, Brexit, or the cure for cancer. I hate when commentators contribute to a tech issue then get lambasted by people like you for being complainers and whiners or in this case, ridiculing Apple users for daring to criticize legitimate constructive comments.

To paraphrase Kramer, Adobe is for “suckers”. One last point, what has Adobe Photoshop been doing for the last ten years?? I can pretty much do 95% of all photo projects I see these days with CS3! 

Says the retired guy. 

I pay for my subscription in about half an hour of billable work each month. I actively work in After Effects, Premiere, Audition, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Lightroom, and a few others occasionally. You do the math. 

There are a ton of amazing new features in Photoshop. You wouldn’t know because you’re using CS3, which came out 12 years ago!

Good for you! (I was more focused on successful design than wiz bang features)

Interesting! I’m a retired graphic designer and now contemporary artist. Fifteen years ago, I was doing heavy weight publishing in a medium size Canadian city using the Adobe suite. I did everything from CMYK offset printing of 400k runs to full page colour ads in weeklies, to brochures. It was fun but a bit soul sucking. And yes, I dumped Quark when they neglected customer service. At one time 9 out of ten service bureaus and printers were using it. A quick 2-3 years later 9 out of ten were using the Adobe suite.
But that was then and a couple things happened. Many, many printers and most service bureaus went belly up with the decline of print publishing. As a result, printers bent over backwards to stay alive and took anything, even Word files (shudder). And then Adobe introduced the subscription model and became Quark. (BTW, I loved Photoshop and InDesign and to a lesser extent, Illustrator. I still have the entire work flow hardwired into my brain.)
I have the luxury of leaving the industry just when Adobe turned arrogant. I’ve since managed to do all my photo editing using other software. But I feel sorry for any independent designers forced to pay the outrageous subscription fees. And yes, I’ve heard other commenters opine that if you’re a working designer, the monthly fee is an acceptable cost. They miss the point and I suspect they are not designers. We were an independent lot and back then jumped ship from Quark to Adobe in a minute. To have your files held hostage by one company on the subscription model is tempting the fate that befell Quark. 
I’ve now bought into the Affinity suite and I wish them all the best. So far I love AP and will soon give AD a go. If I was still working in Adobe CS, I would immediately start doing small projects in Affinity with the long term goal of weaning myself off the Adobe crowd. To paraphrase Kramer, Adobe is for “suckers”. One last point, what has Adobe Photoshop been doing for the last ten years?? I can pretty much do 95% of all photo projects I see these days with CS3! 

The entire topic of subscription software, music etc. is one that needs better nuanced view than this AI provided. I love Apple Music: low price and if you like music, offers the world. In contrast, subscription software like Adobe’s CC is a ripoff. Despite the everything’s great reports from Adobe, graphic pros are looking for alternatives to this pricey, arrogant cash grab.
