I hope Apple doesn't expect to exist on customer loyalty alone.

I'll get the 6S Plus probably/most likely:mjcry: in the new year once people start trading in their old phones will drive the cost of a second-hand 6S Plus down.:mjcry:I'm not droppin almost 4 stacks for a cottdamn old phone, dammit!!:picard::mjcry::mjcry:
You'll likely have to replace the battery in a used 6s. A 2 year old battery is gonna be trash.

:whoo:I highly doubt that. It's possible but unlikely as batteries have a lifecycle of around 2000+ charges before that battery starts to lose it's charge at a faster rate and even then we're talking about something miniscule by about 2-3%.

The average person will charge their phone once a day so that theoretically is about 365 charges (almost) therefore if charged everyday since September 2015 then that's around 2/5 of it's lifecycle used already and the battery's performance shouldn't dip before then and even if it did it would be unnoticeable.

My iPhone 4S works completely fine however what's slowing the phone down is the bloatware iOS which wasn't designed for the 4S and has way too many kernel processes going on in the background that the CPU can handle.

The only thing that would force me to upgrade is if an app needs a mandatory firmware upgrade in order for it to work efficiently especially in an app that I need like banking, Whatsapp, Instagram, Chrome, Google Drive is all I use and those companies like money so I doubt they'll leave me in the dust:sadcam:.

Also iPhone charger's don't have fast charging capabilities and are capped at around 1.6A even on a 2A charger, but the charger supplied is 1A and this is a very safe output rating that isn't even close to damaging a battery. Therefore, it's highly unlikely for the battery to become degraded as much as you think. This problem would be more prevalent with Android devices and iPhone tablets as they require or are capable of charging at 2A. Though it would charge it faster it at the same time will definitely degrade the battery twice as fast.:whew:

I've had my iPhone 7 like a year and I already notice the battery life isn't as good as it was when I first got it.

It has to be mentioned too that the customer service/support Apple has is still unmatched by a large margin. Best thing Samsung has is going to a Best Buy to a Samsung "experience'' store, that's not even real samsung employees lol.

Trying to think of how many phones out right now other than the iphone 8 that can do 4k video at 60fps, and 240fps slow mo at 1080.....
No phone. Apple pushed that line

Of corse it's not. Battery life takes a huge plunge with In a month of owning the Device. I get a new battery every year. Lithium ion technology is at the end of its life cycle

When people stop saying apple is going to fail is when Apple is done.

Lithium-ion has been obsolete for almost the past 20 years. Even Ni-MH is :flabbynsick: status and is about to be replaced soon.

1a charging is a joke. Who has time to be charging a 3000 MAH Battery at 1a speed? This don't work for people that stay on the move.

This why we need removable batt. So one can be charging while the other one is in use. This solves a lot of problems. Apple knows this that's why they came out with that dumb ass charging case that just taxes your batt with more charges further shortening its lifecycle

It's simple physics. 1A charging is the proven max to not ruin modern popular batteries. Anything more will reduce the life cycle as you using more power at a faster rate -- hence why Apple and Samsung have cornered the market as they know this is one of the main reasons for phones losing power because if they capped the output rating at 1A like the old Nokia mobiles from 15 years ago then we wouldn't have this problem but it's one people overlook as these companies are selling devices (chargers) which are designed to ruin your phone faster and make you buy a new phone which equals more money for them.

That is why Apple has two chargers. The faster charging 2.1A for the tablets and the 1A charger for the smartphones. Ideally the 1A charger should be used for both but if you are strapped for time then the 2.1A charger will suffice. I just charge my devices overnight and I never have problems with my battery dying.

No battery has an infinite power supply except for solar and wind energy but the cost for one powerful enough to power a smartphone isn't feasible coupled with phones generally being stored in personal pockets or bags which are dark places with ambient temperatures won't allow it to charge on the go which is why transportable battery chargers are useful but clunky making it a second item to lug around with your phone and headphones etc.

By what? I haven't heard of any significant advancements in batt tech
They are in development now. I think it was a major car company I saw on the news less than 3 months ago that were on the verge of revolutionising the battery. It was one that could be charged in seconds and by different sources to not just through the power socket mains. I believe they were trying to reduce emissions for their cars but at the same time were on the verge of doing away with petrol too so the car powers itself with the battery entirely with no heat emissions or chemicals being released. It's thought to simply work like Ni-MH batteries but 100x faster and in any size. So it could power homes.

I think it was Elon Musk's Telsa partnering with a European country as well as those two companies competing with another Asian company in a race to develop a new battery. I believe it was the Asian company that was on the verge of the same feat as Elon Musk as well.

Maybe in the next 5-15 years but it's coming.:troll:
