they prevented spontaneous reboots. if you dont think apple was right, and the tech press was engaged in yellow journalism, you are wrong. apple was mitigating a very specific hardware failure.
- asendra 8y agoYes and no. the solution to the problem was the correct one, they just forgot one important detail. TELL THE USER! As a result, plenty of people, (including myself) noticing their two year phone starting to slow down quite a bit, decided to upgrade to the new and shiny model, instead of just replacing the battery, because who would have known that was the problem?!
- ceejayoz 8y agoYes, there should've been a "your battery has degraded" alert with information on implications and how to fix it. Apple was wrong to do it silently and without warning. They did issue a mea culpa and free replacement coverage in response to that criticism, but it took a while.
- saagarjha 8y agoWell, they did, in the software update notes for the version that introduced this change. I do agree that they could (and should) have been quite a bit more prominent though.
