Re: Apple admits it slows down older phones
It’s not unreasonable to ask that a tech company simply let us know they are slowing down our devices prior to allowing us to purchase a new device due to that slowness when other options would be available such as a new battery. That’s quite a shallow transparency level to request, imo. I didn’t expect so many people to be so nonchalant about this honestly lol. Good for Apple at least.
I am always amazed at people’s expectations of “transparency” from a business and/or government entity. People are rarely completely transparent in a personal relationship, so what makes them think an entity will be transparent in all things? Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not defending Apple, but I am questioning the legitimacy of the claims about it failing to be transparent with regard to the battery issue. I’d argue that even they had flat out told everyone people would still be having a fit and calling it battery-gate.
