"The tech giant issued a rare statement of explanation on Thursday,
saying that it has used software updates to limit the performance of
older iPhones that may have battery issues that would cause them to
turn off suddenly.

Tech analysts and angry customers have reported in recent days that
operating system updates had caused older iPhones to slow
considerably, with some suggesting that Apple could be using the
tactic to encourage fans to buy new phones.

The company said its software updates for the iPhone 6, iPhone 6S,
iPhone SE and iPhone 7 are designed to "smooth out" peak power
demands, prevent these surprise shutdowns and ultimately prolong the
lifespan of batteries."

Nice.Â* Their excuse is BS, as it's a pretty simple task to replace
the battery in one, and it's less than $30.


Wow...what a crybaby you are.

'Airree, where's your sense of liberal outrage against the evil
corporation?

I'm simply laughing at Crybaby JackOff...another right-wing snowflake.



Sorry. "Snowflake" as a descriptor has already been taken.


I was simply making a public service announcement to help his wife. He passed his ****ty iPhone 7 down to her to "upgrade" to the ****ty iPhone 8. Hopefully he'll tell her to not update it to the latest IoS. You'd think the real breadwinner in the house would be getting the new phone, and passing it down to the has-been jingle writer basement dweller.
