It is the controversy of Christmas: Apple is slowing down devices with old batteries, that is, they would be slowing down all old iPhone models that have not had a battery renewal. A controversy that understanding it we can understand in a certain way: Apple slows down these devices so that they do not continue to damage the batteries and so that they can take advantage of all the characteristics of the devices as much as possible.
An excuse that goes to the point of avoiding sudden blackouts of the devices, and surely if you are users of old devices you have suffered them, right? Well, it seems that this controversy has reached such a point that several groups of American users have spoken and decided to sue the Cupertino boys before the American courts ... After the jump we give you all the details of this new battery gate from Apple.
The news has been given by the boys of Chicago Sun Times, and as we tell you, there have been several groups of users who rate the situation as "misleading, immoral, and unethical". A situation that demand that Apple solves by compensating all users of these devices antiquated that are being slowed down by the problems of wear and tear on their batteries.
We will see what all this is, personally I anticipate saying that this will pass like a dog through your house, forgive me the expression. In the end, you have to understand that batteries are the part of the devices that degrades the most, and that a company "worries" about avoiding leaving us without being able to use our device is something that we have to value. However, we can also think badly, of course, and we always have to keep that in mind. scheduled obsolescence, but it must also be said that we are the ones who decide to renew our devices or not, and I say it thinking about all those users who continue to use their old iPhone 4. I don't think we can demand 100% operation on older devices when technology is constantly evolving.
aha, the batteries degrade, okay, but that small component is not responsible for the obsolescence of the apple program, if I don't feel like buying a mobile every year and I know that if I upgrade to a different version my device will be screwed, if I can demand to be able to download it (always, not only those two stupid weeks that the brand allows) when I feel like it and not only one before the new one, but also the one that came from stock. Why don't you say anything about that? Today the hardware of an iPhone is left over for 3 or more years of updates, you won't tell me that every new thing in iOS needs more processor, right, the thing is that Apple doesn't want us to renew at that time.
Check the article because it seems that you slipped some justification to slow down the models with old batteries. But hey, we readers are used to it, right? There are no objective articles, there are apple licks whatever you do. It's embarrassing. And what Apple has done is laugh in the face of me, its consumer, so it would be great if "we can understand" you review them.
Has someone changed the battery and has the iPhone been faster with iOS 11? Or will I spend the money and it will still be just as bad?
The fact that you change the battery will not make it go faster, but the bullshit implemented by Apple will not lower the frequency of the soc. I already said it above, the slowness of the device via software is what the apple has always been, only with ios 11 it is even more evident, if the demand does not prosper, all you have to do is not update, I trust that at some point Fuck this company, it makes excellent equipment and software but its ambition will eat it up sooner or later.
Bravo!!! Let's see if the complaint goes ahead ...
My iphone6 with ios 11 slows down when the battery is below 40%, it starts snagging everywhere. I put it to load and when it goes over 50% it no longer hooks ... From my opinion Apple should deactivate this function, that's what the low consumption option is for, right?
What is clear is that why I am going to spend € 1000 on an iphone 8 plus or an iphoneX so that in two years they will catch me via software ... apple do not fool us anymore !!!
Please, do not justify this movement by Apple: it has been perpetrated at night and maliciously, without notifying anyone and without giving the option to choose whether or not to use this measure.
It must be up to the user whether he wants to use his phone "in protected mode", or whether he wants to use it at full power but charging it every two hours.
Hello guys, I join all of you who think that this Apple strategy to make us change iPhones every year is motivated by consumption and its profits each quarter, in reality this is an abuse and the guys at actualidadiphone Like many bloggers, they are given Gadgets to try and speak in most cases well or very highly about them. Having said that, these people who write articles every day in favor of Apple or another company, we are not going to find an answer that Apple would be making fun of them. from us, so let's be very attentive if this demand prospers, greetings and happy holidays.
Limiting hardware by software deliberately and without prior notice is called planned obsolescence and may be considered a crime in some countries (which I find incredible). This has only just begun because it's going to mess up fat, but very fat as they don't rectify this. They have had the trust of their users for years precisely because they have very durable products, but if this ends, I don't know what's the point of having to buy a phone every 6 months. For me, the full weight of the law falls on them, it is more than justified. On the other hand, whoever wrote this article should rethink it twice when saying that this is going to pass by without further ado. Because the users who have sued are going to win and they are going to continue denouncing more users, and since they have to change the batteries for free, they are going to have multimillion-dollar losses for this shit.
Apple, once again disappointed in you, and those of actualidadiphone They should follow up on this case, not only when it is in favor of Apple, for example I just read that Apple is apologizing and offering "discounts" on battery changes, this is unacceptable! What they should do is remove the limitation via update, the only thing Apple did is create loyal followers and have them tolerate whatever they decide.
