It shows a lack of respect for their users, and for their users money. They are charging the same for almost two years old hardware than they would if It had been updated, but the user gets a worst product, and in the long run, experience.

That only makes sense if you stop putting morons in charge, though.

On Safari 12, my 2015 13" rMBP scores 55, my iPhone X 89, and the new iPhone XS 125 !? Faster than the new iMac Pro ( https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1043277162676072449 )

You have dirt inside your lightning port. Clean it up and should be fine.

Yes and no. the solution to the problem was the correct one, they just forgot one important detail. TELL THE USER! As a result, plenty of people, (including myself) noticing their two year phone starting to slow down quite a bit, decided to

And I've yet to experience a smooth web experience in an Android phone (using Chrome), or at least as smooth as on iOs..

Does this mean the average American is shortsighted and stupid then? “But the average American has less than $4,000 in savings, while 57% of U.S. adults have less than $1,000 to their names.” https://www.usatoday.com/story&#

Is that on the same time scale as Falcon Heavy doing it's first launch in 2013?

If you train any sport with any kind of seriousness you usually end up needing more advanced training features, like HR pacing, zones training, intervals for speed workouts, cadence.. There is no way to do all that properly with an Apple Wa

If you were still a runner, or did any type of sport with decent training, you would still be using Garmin or equivalent. Apple watch just doesn't cut it. I own both (AW2 and Garmin 735xt) and I gave up trying to use the AW for any of

Because it was found out that they were doing the battery thing. If not, he and everyone else would have continued suffering a poor experience without knowing that it was a battery problem, or bought a new iPhone. I know that’s what happene

It might be about blacklisting older versions, so users can only install the newest version like on iOS.

Apple hid the cause (an ageing battery), and purposely slowed down peoples phones without warning. If your phone randomly shuts downs, or it last less time between charges, you know it must be a battery issue. You go to Apple or whatever, a

Thats the sort of thing that happens when you are spoiled by buying every iPhone, never experiencing an ageing phone or even an iOs update on an older phone. It was painful to hear.

But I bet you knew it was a battery problem, and how to fix it without buying a new phone. That's the main problem here.

Just my case, but Apple replaced my 6s battery because of random shutdowns under the replacement program on Jan 17th. Around the release of iOs 11 (not sure exactly when because it was gradual and I was also on the iOs 11 beta) my 6s became

People know batteries wear out, but the expected behaviour is the phone lasting less hours between charges, or even unexpected shutdowns, but definitely not degraded CPU performance. That has never happened before, there was no precedent fo

I also spent the corresponding amount for an X in my country but, a. Good luck when you run out of battery on your AirPods, or you loose one, or you forget them etc. It sure is nice to have the flexibility (Not to mention the much higher au

That sounds like a good experience.. /s

I noticed the slowdown. Never believed in planned obsolescence so I though it could be an optimisation problem in iOs 11 but problem persisted after several os updates. I finally decided to upgrade to an X because how bad it was. Turns out

Can confirm, my 6s with an 11 months old battery serviced by Apple, 95% of original capacity, and ~400cycles throttles between 30% and 50%.

by asendra 9y ago
The problem is that there is no way for a user to know that they can spend 79$ to fix the problem. Most will asume that is has become slow and think the only solution is spending +700$ on a new one.

by asendra 9y ago
I also had mine replaced for free (6s) on the same recall program ~11months ago. The battery still has 95.7% of the capacity, with 400 cycles, yet my device is throttling the cpu between 30% and 50%. It was how slow it was running that made

Lol, you randomly inserted a picture from one of the most famous locals here in Valencia, famous for It's enormous "bocadillos" (and good food obviously!) BTW, that's the half-size "bocadillo" there ;)
