> I am so tired of people who interpret Apple's actions purely as anti-consumer fuckery. Even to this day, people still claim that "apple made people's phones slow down as they got older, so they would have to buy new ones" despite it being widely covered that Apple, like other phone manufacturers, slows down the CPU when they detect the battery's internal resistance rising to prevent brownouts so that the phone is usable for a longer period of time and all you have to do to restore original performance is replace the battery, apple or no.
What they did was chase thinness and so they didn't include an adequate power source for the processor they were using.

Your comment might apply to Apple, but an iPhone was hardly the only handset that crashed as the battery stopped being able to keep up under load.

- squeaky-clean 3y agoI had an LG G3 and after 2 years it would die when the battery got to ~30%. Thankfully the battery was user replaceable. But LG is not immune to this. I'm surprised an LG G2 would even run for 10 minutes today unless it's had the original battery replaced.

- squeaky-clean 3y agoDo you leave it plugged into the charger when it's running all night?

- HumblyTossed 3y agoNot true
- kaba0 3y agoIt was a more than adequate power source. Just not after 6 years of daily usage. But if you have a better battery design, feel free to patent it and get insanely rich.
- HumblyTossed 3y agoStop being disingenuous. A LOT of people had issues after only a year, thats how the controversy blew up so quickly.
