Yeah, they tried very hard to take my headphone jack away by slowing down my iPhone 6. I waited for them to add that option to disable the throttler. Only reason I recently stopped using that phone is it completely died from being dropped.
- scarface_74 2y agoThe alternative was your phone shutting off as the battery got old
- hot_gril 2y agoMine almost never shut down once I disabled the throttling. Maybe once.
- scarface_74 2y agoAnd you don’t see an issue with that and why Apple might want to take precautions against it on a wider scale?
- hot_gril 2y agoYes, I get it. Since they wanted to take this precaution, they could have told us and let us disable it. Instead, it was obvious that they tried to hide it for as long as possible. By the time someone proved it and there was enough PR fire to do something about it, probably a lot of frustrated users had already bought new phones. The end result for me personally was having a borderline unusable iPhone for how ever long this was, even though it was fairly new. And they never fixed the root cause, which was a seemingly flawed battery design.
