Apple slowing down devices to extend battery life when the battery itself is low or degraded is awesome.
All the lawsuits coming out of this over recent years are uncalled for. Users that “suffer” from this likely need to simply replace the battery.
I expect an OS (and/or kernel) to manage resources. iOS/macOS actively doing so by adjusting its behavior when the battery’s shot is exactly the kind of magic people want in Apple products—so why is the opposite true when it comes to to this subject?
It’s wild to me that someone would be so upset as to sue over this.
Edit: I’m not arguing that Apple is superior or that everyone should happily go along with buying Apple products. The way a lot of these comments are written make it sound like they’re the only smartphone manufacturer and living with their software is forced upon you. If Apple makes you angry or unhappy, I happily encourage you to seek alternatives; I don’t believe any one company can make the perfect product for 100% of people.
it seems like many people are giving valid responses on why this is bad practice.
it seems like you just want to debate instead of understanding.
If you look at the other comments I actually agree with people where they have a point. But most the comments are along the lines of “oh no, I have to go to an Apple Store or send my device in for a few days, what will I ever do?” or “Apple bad” and not much beyond that.
Poor society, what will we ever do with our evil Apple devices that don’t magically replace the batteries? Curse Apple, they wouldn’t even give us some shitty plastic removable cover for the battery! 😱
