>class action lawsuit
"here's your $2 and fuck off".
Was there ever a time that a class action lawsuit changed anything?

Checked.
It changed a great deal if you are a lawyer looking to buy a new car and mansion.

So why is this bad?
If your battery is going bad and running the phone at the original speed drains the battery even fastwe; why would people be mad?

maybe its not necessarily about battery level but more about battery age. Hence a fully charged older iphone will be slowed. But thats just my interpretation

>he wants his hardware throttled

Fruitcucks, when will they learn?

I use a laggy ass Galaxy s5.
The smae phone I had to get a new battery for because it would die in 2 hours.

It is a valid lawsuit. Nobody asked for their phones to be slowed and replacement batteries can be got from iFixit

iCucks get what they deserve.
More importantly, it's a PR hit that woke a lot of normies.

>Make android users look wacky and deranged by joining in with dissent. Make "all caps" posts and hurl insults such as "iToddler" or "iFag"

Fuck off iShills

>t. iToddler

You’ll never stop will you shill?

So what, the phone is throttled but it is better than turning off unexpectedly. Other manufacturers should implement this function.

>but it is better than
Wrong.

If it's turning off unexpectedly then you know the battery is shot and needs replacing, rather than the entire phone. That's the entire motivation behind the lawsuit you brainlet.

Glad I never fell for the iPhone meme

Apple already informed that the phone is throttled when battery health is low.

Wrong.

It happened yesterday or so.

This. Normal loss of mAh capacitance ≠ low health.

Sorry I’m not a battery expert and used the wrong terms. My point still stands.

You goys should be asking the real question

Why would Apple bother to confirm this instead of leaving it a rumor?

What's their endgame from letting this info be known?

They were literally caught doing it and were forced to come clean.

It doesn't, low health means the batteries sperodically cause shutdowns and dangerously overheat often which is a manufacturer defect that requires immediate replacement.

Lithium batteries will endure ~300 discharge/recharge cycles before losing a significant amount of capacitance (mAh) and then slowly lose more until it fails to hold a charge at all. During this time they will still be able to discharge up to 1C with no overheating problems.

They've been caught doing other shady shit but they never admit to anything

I can see why they would do this desu. iPhones are often bought used many times before being trashed completely once the battery/NAND wear out completely.

Not doing this would cause used iPhones with batteries that can only have 2000 mAh of capacitance or lower to discharge incredibly fast compared to a brand new one.

Still the lawsuits will hold up in court due to apple failing to mention this feature to its customers.

I bought my iPhone second hand, can I still sue?

Hmmmm, maybe. Provided you can prove you bought it off an original customer.

My dad got a used truck that a few years later had the a fuel tank strap snap off due to corrosion. He went to the ford dealer and got it fixed free of charge.

I've tried finding the Linus Tech Tips video where they benchmarked several generations of Iphones and found they didn't get slower with time, at least not according to the benchtest.

They could simply had good batteries in all of them I guess but I can't find the video on his channel nor on google. I can't remember the title used but "iphone benchmark" "Iphone test" "Iphone slow" "iphone planned obsolescence" doesn't turn up anything. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

>woke a lot of normies
No, you underestimate the normie.
They'll just buy iCuck products again and again.

Irrelevant test. This phenomenon only show up during extended use probably as a way of hiding it from consumers. All apple has to do is enforce a tdp throttle after a few minutes to bypass gookbench and other synthetic benchmarks which are of use to fucking no once since apple actively cheats in them and the score in the end has nothing to do with real world performance that matters to users (see hw AES inflating scores).

Wouldn't a benchmark which adapts to this fact come to surface eventually? Even if it's countered eventually with new workarounds.

They didn't come clean, they said they did it 'for the consumer' by keeping their battery working.


Total bs, does anyone believe that shit?

It does exist, all you have to do is stress it out with something like 10-bit HEVC video encoding over the course of an hour which is hard to cheat in. Do that in on a new and used iPhone and record the FPS every second, put that in a graph and compare.

Not at all, this was probably done to hide the terrible battery life used iPhones have had in the past due to worn out batteries.

This could have all been prevented by making the god damned batteries user replaceable but apple would rather stroke it's shitty metallic cock in people's faces than give users convenience and avoid PR disasters like this.

Why do americucks have to take everything to the court?

They just want to promote their shitty Iphone replacement service. For any type of malfunction or damage they just give you a "new" (refurbished) Iphone, even if it's perfectly fine to repair and could take someone experienced half an hour or less. They get paid every time and just keep recycling parts. Warranty cases is denied for the slightest bumps and scratches anywhere on the device. Instead you get to pay slightly less if using their applecare service or much more without.

It was as simple as saying in batgery settings:
>your battery may need to be serviced. *Your iPhone's performance may be reduced*.
Or something more apple-esque.

My S5 still runs great with Lineage and the battery is fine. You're doing something wrong.

Probably has stock samshit ROM with all the bloatware installed, hundreds of apps he downloaded and never used, and hasn't cleared the cache or replace the app launcher since the day he got it.

Wrong. It only said that your battery required servicing.

Also, I remember reading about this at reddit (yes, reddit) some months ago:
(reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/comments/73lm0a/discussion_cpu_throttling_and_bad_battery_life_on/)

For me, OP is just posting old news

You have to go back

How else would you get thinks done?!?

because owning a phone in america is so important to people that they would take the issue to court.

or consumer rights are important to americans since they consume more than any other nation.

>consumer rights are important to americans since they consume more than any other nation.
not fuckin wrong there, fatarse

>consumer rights
>in america
lmao, implementing them would go against the corporate interests.

so many phones are doing this its stupid

this is a feature of the phone to preserve battery why tf is this a bad thing?

>why tf is this a bad thing?
It's not that Apple was throttling that's so bad. It's that Apple never suggested to people that buying a new battery would speed their phone up. Apple, by omission, wanted people to think they would have to buy a NEW phone to get their old speeds back.
