  You’re holding it wrong

  We’re slowing down your phone on purpose… for your own good

  We have to use a proprietary cable to protect our users from their own stupidity

    The issue with the second one was their failure to notify users about the throttling. It is a decent solution for an end of life battery to throttle the device to prevent crashes.

      Yeah I have zero qualms with my phone running slower if it means it doesn’t randomly reboot. That was the whole reason why Apple implemented it in the first place.

    I suggest checking out the recent episode of version history by the verge about the iPhone 4. Antennagate was extraordinarily overblown and didn’t result in dropped calls, it was almost an entirely UI based issue with the bar calculation algorithm. Jobs also never said you’re holding it wrong that is missattributed quote.

    As for the slowing of phones it was necessary to preserve battery life and health though they should have told people about it. Very few people would take the trade off of significantly degraded battery life for a slightly higher clock speed.

    As for the proprietary connection, when lightning was introduced it was miles ahead of the usb consortium in terms of speeds and features. If they hadn’t held on to it for so long I think people would be more fond toward it. But it was certainly better than micro b.

      You’re not going to be able to break through a lot of peeps Apple hate on Lemmy, it’s almost as strong as the Microsoft hate.
