Is that really such a bold expectation that when I buy a phone the manufacture will not use hidden software to downgrade the performance without informing me?

Is that really such a bold expectation that when I buy a phone the manufacture will not use hidden software to downgrade the performance without informing me? Your standards are in the basement.

As opposed to this? >the past couple of months have seen a sudden increase in Nexus 6P battery complaints, with many users reporting that their phones suddenly shut down, even though there was plenty of battery life remaining It's not a simple system crash, because your phone will stay dead until you connect it to a charger. https://android.gadgethacks.com/news/nexus-6p-battery-randomly-dying-its-not-just-you-0175625/ https://android.gadgethacks.com/news/nexus-6p-battery-random... That seems especially problematic if you are on the go and need to make an emergency call to summon help. A working phone seems preferable.

  Yes, and what part of transparency is opposed to a working phone? Apple did not have to do what they did in secret. Nothing you have said responds to what I said. This isn't an "Apple vs Android" discussion. Maybe that's where you got confused.

    Google didn't provide a working phone. When users complained that their phones died while showing a 50% charge and would not work again until connected to a charger, Google did nothing to fix the problem. >The processor easily overheated, a bootloop bug made quite a few units die prematurely, and lastly, a battery problem surfaced that led to early shutdowns anywhere between 50 and 0 percent. At least the remaining owners of this Nexus device don't have to worry about the latter issue anymore — according to Google, that is. An engineer just marked the early shutdown entry in the company's issue tracker as "fixed." I don't know about you, but when I just retrieved my Nexus 6P from my junk drawer a minute ago, it didn't have an update pending. https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/16/nexus-6p-early-shutdown-fixed/ https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/16/nexus-6p-early-shut...
