To all Apple Fandom, you've been duped, slapped in the face and crapped on.
They have been deliberately slowing down their older models.
Why many will ask? Is the bottom line all that matters?
While customer loyalty and trust are greatly taken for granted, we now hear Apple's Mea Culpa that it's on the batteries.
Older models, corroded batteries hence slowdown.
Also for added forgiveness points they've now discounted their replacement batteries for older models
by $50 — from $79 to $29.
In 2018, they will issue an" iOS software update with new features that give users more visibility into the health of their iPhone's battery, so they can see for themselves if its condition is affecting performance."
And finally they state:
"As always, our team is working on ways to make the user experience even better, including improving how we manage performance and avoid unexpected shutdowns as batteries age."
Awesome, I feel better already, for a SAMSUNG NOTE user...BOOM!!!
