Default Apple slows down phones... on purpose!

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

Evil corporations are OK if they happen to be one that he likes.

Who's crying anyway? Doesn't affect me. He's just being his usual, snarky asshole self.

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.
