Give me a break please. From the post:
>First and foremost, we have never — and would never — do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades. Our goal has always been to create products that our customers love, and making iPhones last as long as possible is an important part of that.
I see 0 weasel words or dodging here. Give me a break hacker news. Thanks.
- mthoms 9y agoNotice all the qualifiers? Notice that the above statement, while technically truthful does not tell the whole story? This is not a time for vague promises IMHO, it's time for specific and clear statements. Why not just say you don't slow phones full stop?
- hateduser2 9y agoWhat qualifiers? They said they haven’t and never would do anything to shorten or harm device life. That’s as direct as it gets. This isn’t a weasel word message, sorry.
- misio 9y agothey would never do it "to drive customer upgrades". That isn't never do it. That's never do it for a single specific reason. Why add that clause? I guarantee no word in that statement is wasted on meaningless fluff.
