I venture to name slow gate to this event that was discovered a few weeks ago and that is bringing the colors to the Cupertino company. So much so that all the media have been talking about it for days, some showing their favorable position and others their disagreement about it. What is quite clear is that perhaps Apple has not been transparent enough.
But as rectifying is wise, the Apple team has taken good note. Since the last minute of yesterday, new information has been known about how they are going to deal with the issue. Good news for old terminal users, Apple will lower the battery change to $ 29 for an entire year to ease the transition and avoid the slow gate as far as possible.
The company launches a battle of measures that will solve this problem, just after the statement in which among other things we can read:
We are proud that Apple products are recognized for their durability and for maintaining their value much longer than those of our competitors (…) At Apple, the trust of our customers means everything to us. We will never stop to win it and keep it. The only reason we can do the work we love is because of your faith and support, something we will never forget or take for granted.
These are them measures of which iPhone users will be able to take advantage of to extend the life of their terminal to the maximum:
- Discount to just $ 29 of the battery change (we imagine that the change applied to the € will be the same).
- Terminals from iPhone 6
- During all year 2018
- In the first quarter of 2018 we will see an iOS version that will include options to check the battery status for wear
We have no more information, only the official statement that you can access HERE, while we continue to wait for the Apple Spain website to show the same information.
This is what sets Apple apart from other companies. Bad for what he did, but here we have me trying to fix his mistake. Other companies would have done nothing. Just a week from the complaints to the solution.
A week ago I criticized Apple ... now it's time to applaud ... a good gesture for them. Even so I reiterate ... the option to lower the performance of the soc should be configurable by the user.
Yes but they do this by passing x box
And I do not think that is the solution I change the battery a year after having the iPhone 6s by default from the factory and it has been wrong for me since I installed ios 11
It's like when you install w vista and w7 on a computer, the difference is brutal
And just change the operating system
Don't sell us the bike
Yes, with the difference that Windows Vista and 7 ignore it and Apple there you have it. Very good of you. When something does not go well, you have to put a solution or at least show that you know how to listen. The latter, I think, is not something that we are left with in these times.
I forgot to tell you that yes, logically we go through the box, but keep in mind that for € 29, in my case, I extend the life of my phone for three or four more years; A bargain. In this life there are few free things ...
You don't applaud half solutions so much.
- In the first place, if the algorithms do not change them, no matter how much new battery you mount, as soon as they lower a minimum percentage of useful life, the performance cuts will begin again. So we will have a new battery that will be a time bomb that will go off sooner rather than later (let's calculate that soon, like a year old, a year old and a half only).
- It is a "patch" to fix a bug in iOS. If you consume too much battery, whatever you do, it will degrade first. We return to point 1. Failure? possibly intended by software "emulating" functions that are now done with newer processors in newer models.
- Lower power so that the battery lasts: yes, and it is called «low consumption mode». We already have it. Who wants it, to activate it. And who does not, even if the phone burns, but do not turn everything down without my control (I can not even type on my iPhone 6, and my battery has barely consumed 290 cycles and maintains a 79% charge).
- If they don't say anything, I see people updating their terminals en masse. If your phone shuts down suddenly, you may be suspicious of the battery. If it slows you down to the extreme, you think it is old. It has all their intention, they are not dummies at Apple. Whatever you do, you go through the checkout, ROUND BUSINESS (whether you change the terminal, or replace the battery). Suspiciously, although the system was working this from 10.2.1, it is only now that EVERYONE after updating to iOS 11, we have begun to accuse it in a desperate way. It gives a lot of cante, just with the output of the iPhone 8 and X.
Apple provides half solutions. We all love the brand and enjoy it, but they've been caught reaching into the cookie jar and the last thing we need is to applaud. Stop stories, optimize iOS 11, stop warning messages that only reassure people but do not fix anything, and stop insulting the intelligence of users.
These apple ones are horny.
An iPhone 4 today has no option to install apps since when updating the apps they do not give service to the old ios
What is a battery change worth to me?
The change is from iphone6. Forget the 4
Would the iPhone SE fit into the "from iPhone 6"? because chronologically speaking it is later ... come on, it was released a year and a half ago ...
You recover yourself.
