https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2017/12/27/apple-battery-slow-down-lawsuit-class-action-aapl.html?ana=yahoo&yptr=yahoo How can such smart executives make such dumb decisions?
Can't wait for a Samsung ad poking fun of this.
On top of this ios updates have been buggy AF lately. But it's only buggy due to insufficient diversity on their engineering teams.
Are people actually upset about this? Throttling the CPU seems like a fair tradeoff from an engineering and product perspective. Ideally that would be configurable or more transparent, but everyone has always been happy with apple making decisions for them. The real issue is that the battery is not easy to replace. I've never heard an iphone owner complain about that though.
You said it, lack of transparency is the issue here. I can just replace the battery for 70$ instead of spending 700$ on a new phone. It is clear that Apple has ill intentions here and it is definitely a breach of trust
It's not their decision to make. It would be like a car company automatically reducing engine output to maintain the advertised fuel efficiency. It's shady as fuck.
Speaking as a customer, not an employee, because I have been a customer for much longer: If your phone is slow, it is NOT obvious to most people that changing your battery would make things faster. But it is obvious that if your phone dies at 30%, and gets from 100 to 30 really soon, then it’s a battery issue.
Apple will pay for this. My team and I worked on something related to this. I now realize they planned this long before the iOS11 release - at least a year before public beta. I’m so confused. I’m disgusted.
Trust me, they aren't very bright. Just incredibly greedy and will do anything to increase short term profits without thinking about consequences to consumers, society, etc.
Or long term profit due to damaged brand
