Apple throttled your iPhone by cutting its speed almost in HALF!

I only speak facts. Facts don't undermine my belief system - they support it.

Facts undermine *your* belief system - not mine.

"How no one at Apple thought that this would not come to light, and that the revelation would later snowball into lawsuits and Senate committee probes is just beyond me."

"Rather than saying sorry, [the apology] feels as though Apple is lecturing users about how it knows best, and that pushing out updates that quietly hobbled devices was the right thing to do. It wasn't."

I realize facts hurt you because facts undermine your belief system.

"Trust in Apple is now shattered, and it feels like no one at the company cares.

Can you please keep this discussion about Apple products out of comp.mobile.android? It's off topic here.

I also urge any responders to these apple threads to remove comp.mobile.android from the "Newsgroups:" header.

Thanks in advance.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Says Power Management Feature in Older iPhones Will Be Able to Be Turned Off in Future Update

"Previously there was no clear notice that it would cause devices to operate slowly."

"Cook says Apple will also allow customers to turn off the power management feature ... first in a developer release that happens next month."

"We will tell someone we're reducing your performance ...and if you don't want it, you can turn it off."

I gave up reading this conversation some time back. I only read this message out of idle curiosity. The conversation ended for all practical purposes. There is no point in partaking in the meta-discussion, so I'm out. If you keep arguing with them as to who is the bigger butt head, that's on you.

"Apple's battery throttling techniques is activated on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone SE as of iOS 11.2. It reduces performance by 50%."

Apparently Apple cleverly *manipulated* the release notes, *after* the fact!

"The feature was not mentioned in the release notes accompanying the update, but Apple quietly revised the notes to include a line about "power management" at some point *after* the update was released."

"Even an Apple user who was paying attention would not have known about the feature had they downloaded the update ... after it was available."

"There was no mention of the CPU throttling feature or "power management" included with the release notes that accompanied the software update on January 23."

"Release notes associated with the software update, quietly revised on Apple's website *after* the software's release, *now* mention 'power management during peak workloads.'"

"A screenshot of the release notes from an iPhone, [are] different from the notes *now* listed on Apple's website."

"Blog posts from 9to5Mac and MacRumors at the time also say that the release notes ... didn't mention power management."

"[By] February 23...the feature was already on 'over 50% of active iOS devices'"

"In December, Apple said that it "extended" the CPU-throttling feature to the iPhone 7, which is a newer model of device than the iPhones that were experiencing the shutdown issue that Cook was talking about. However, the release notes for that update did not mention a power management feature, either."

"Apple kept [this] information from consumers for quite some time, [Apple] didn't reveal the fact that the rollout of a new operating system was going to have the effect of dropping back phones."

There are problems with Apple's iPhone battery explanation

Replying to yourself now eh?

Why don't you take your Appleshit somewhere else and go f*ck off.

He needs to wallow in the former, and is incapable of the latter.

He's an Android/Linux zealot who incessantly trolls the Apple newsgroups. Apple posters don't want anything to do with him either.

Apple just canceled the iPhone X.

Read this: Apple Leak Reveals Sudden iPhone X Cancellation

"It may be the smartphone of the moment, but a new leak reveals will soon cancel the iPhone X. And the source could not be more credible."

"Acclaimed KGI Securities' analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says disappointing sales of the iPhone X will lead to the cancellation of the model "with production ceasing in the summer". This would be the first time Apple has cancelled an iPhone model after just one generation since the iPhone 5C in 2014."

Also, Tim Cook is currently caught in a bunch of outright lies.

Read this:

"Apple's Reasoning Still Doesn't Add Up" "Apple's Transparency Still Sucks"

"Apple's Reasoning Still Doesn't Add Up" "The company blames the natural degradation of lithium-ion batteries, without addressing why rivals state such measures are unnecessary. Samsung in particular reiterated to me it can retain 95% lithium-ion battery capacity for at least two years."

"Apple also hasn't explained why the first six generations of iPhones were unaffected (even the 2007 original iPhone had a 1400 mAh lithium-ion battery) or why "protective" stability measures weren't required in the first nine generations of iOS (throttling began with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S in iOS 10.2.1, released in January 2017)."

"Apple's Transparency Still Sucks" "Let's be frank, for all Tim Cook's claims of transparency moving forward, the only reason Apple is doing any of this is because it was caught out. Furthermore, in speaking to ABC, Cook appears to be rewriting history".

NOTE: It has been proven the "power management" part was added way *later* to the original January release notes, and *never* to the iPhone 7 release notes. ? Evidence Apple cleverly manipulated iOS release notes on "power management" after the fact ?

"But I was paying attention. I review iOS releases, my exclusive broke the original shutdown problem and here's the "clarity" offered by the iOS 10.2.1 release notes: "iOS 10.2.1 includes bug fixes and improves the security of your device."

"It was no better one year later either. When Apple launched iOS 11.2 in December 2017, the update added potential performance throttling for the iPhone 7. The iOS 11.2 release notes said: "iOS 11.2 introduces Apple Pay Cash to send, request and receive money from friends and family with Apple Pay. This update also includes bug fixes and improvements."

"Yes Tim, this could've been clearer."

"For those who bought an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X last year only to find out performance throttling is likely to begin this year may feel shortchanged as well."

Trust: "So iOS 11.3 is indeed The Big One. Obviously it's big for iPhone owners, but it's equally big for Apple because - done right - it can do more than just restore iPhones. It can do what Apple has singularly failed to do with words: it can restore trust."

no they didn't.

it's still available and will be for some time to come.

UPDATE: Notice the Apple apologists _hate_ what Apple does so much that they'll endlessly deny even well verified facts that Apple publicly admitted!

See also this thread today with an important update, thanks to JF Mezei: o *Apple agrees to settle class action in US over throttling $500M*

=== === === Quoted verbatim from that thread: === === ===

Quote:

$25 per qualified phone. === === === Quoted verbatim from that thread: === === ===

This is the thread that broke the news of Apple's secret, drastic, and permanent CPU throttling due to inherently poor power-management design... o *Report says Apple 'Powerd' code secretly slows your iOS device down to trick you into buying a new device*

See also this thread where Apple publicly admitted to the crime of intentionally secretly lowering the life of essentially the same set of iPhones: o *Apple agrees to pay 25 million euros fine as Apple admits "Apple committed the crime of deceptive commercial practice by omission"*

See also this thread, where JF Mezei seems to be updating as news comes in: o *Quebec class action goes ahead (battery gate)*

Bear in mind, Apple essentially lied to Congress (as in "I didn't inhale") when they said in their coverup that iPhone throttling wasn't "as" necessary on the later phones, where, the facts prove Apple added throttling in _every_ subsequent iOS release since! o *Every iPhone CPU from the iPhone 6 to iPhone 7 were throttled, then iPhone 8 to iPhone X were throttled & now the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max & iPhone XR get throttling software*

In addition, Apple clearly lied in their subsequent coverup, with respect to the fact they secretly modified the release notes well _after_ the fact. o *Evidence Apple cleverly manipulated iOS release notes on "power management" after the fact*

Given the speeds were secretly cut in _half_ by Apple... o Apple throttled your iPhone by cutting its speed almost in HALF!

And given that Apple's design causes premature replacement of millions of batteries yearly... o *FACTS: Apple replaced 11 million batteries last year (normal replacement is ~1.5 million batteries per year)*

How is prematurely replacing millions of batteries yearly a good thing for the environment? o *All new iPhones might be forced to have a removable battery (Android too)*

How is intentionally shortening iPhone life good for the environment?

That about covers it, using all the languages I have "interacted with" over time, one way or another.
