Apple says they've been intentionally slowing the performance of older iPhones

Class action lawsuit on the way

Rain on me because this seems like a straight up class action win

I wish I could collectively slap every fukking Apple shill who said this was a crazy conspiracy.

It still is. People been claiming this shyt for years, they just created this method for preventing phone reboots

I feel like they do it when your bill payment is late also, I've always thought that. Buying a new phone every year is stupid, especially now if they're all gonna be a grand

Wouldn't that be your provider doing that? Why would apple care if you paid your att bill? They already got their money.


I really don't understand the outrage here, they had a problem with phones with older batteries dying when charge reaches 30% or so. They solved that problem by slowing the cpu when the battery can no longer hold the charge.

So now instead of shutting off, your phone just slows down.

What's the problem?


Replacing the battery is always a solution, even if you gotta pay to have it done.

This is brilliant

So that’s why my shyt would just go dead and turn off with like 20 something percent left when I would listen to music while working out

Happened to me on my nexus6p

No really. Androids turn to shyt on they own after a year or so lol

Not really. I have plenty of old, functional android phones.

I figured it wasn’t normal if the battery isn’t charged that the performance will go down. It’s common sense, least to me. Them slowing the phones down shouldn’t be a shock either. How do we get to this check though

 

[KravenMorehead™]

You don't have 3 nikka, ya family does. And Apple gonna slow all that down and your work phone. shyt gonna be loading all slow, then you'll upgrade your cable thinking that's the reason why
