Other Anyone else glad Apple Is being sued over not telling us about our batteries ?

[Knockoutjosie]

You should care if you are a long time iPhone user. This is bs

 

[daflake]

Meh, it is a phone and I have never really had an issue with any of my iPhones. They work when I need them to work.

 

[chscag]

More litigation. That's just what we need to drive prices for stuff like the iPhone X even higher. Apple has plenty of lawyers and will easily defend against the suit. I personally don't care if my phone slows down since I don't play games with it.

 

[adamhenry]

Am I happy that a bunch of lawyers are going to make a lot of money because of hype? Nope, large waste.

 

[nia820]

Yes. They should be sued. They knew damn well they should have told their customers about this, but they didn't because they were hoping that they would just go and buy a new device.

 

[upandown]

Rable Rable Rable. Sue sue sue

 

[mcdj]

Oh good, a new topic for everyone to start their own clever thread about.

 

[daflake]

Haha, I was thinking of a new title for this:

OMG, I had to wait 3/10ths of a second instead of 1/10th, LET'S SUE!

 

[Pakaku]

They knew someone would try to sue them over it. I doubt they would have announced anything like that if they didn't have a trump card hidden on them.

No, I don't care. And yes I have been a long time iPhone user, but it doesn't necessarily directly affect me, perhaps for others it does. Everyones situation is different based on their iPhone experience. I'm someone who upgrades annually, so it does not affect me in general. Perhaps Apple could have been more transparent in this situation.

 

[Mr.Blacky]

Yes. They should be sued. They knew damn well they should have told their customers about this, but they didn't because they were hoping that they would just go and buy a new device.

But most of you here, would buy a new phone, every one or two years, either way.

 

[KingslayerG5]

No. Apple deserves every single dollar they want from us. Apple "knows" best.

 

[tarsins]

I've been buying iPhones since the 3GS and they've been fine. I bet a large percentage of those jumping on the sue train haven't really noticed a performance degrade.

 

[Knockoutjosie]

I seen that the only ones who don’t care are the ones who upgrade every year

 

[braddick]

When you're a large corporation such as Apple there are those waiting in the wings just chomping at the bit to sue over any (non) issue. Apple's 'fault' is not anticipating this.

 

[daflake]

I seen that the only ones who don’t care are the ones who upgrade every year

I had a 4 until i jumped to a 7 last year, so no, you are not seeing things correctly.

 

[Zigourney]

This is great news - they deserve what's coming to them.

 

[Ralfi]

I seen that the only ones who don’t care are the ones who upgrade every year

I've upgraded every 3 years thus far.

 

[Newtons Apple]

What a joke!

 

[fred98tj]

Let’s see, one of the largest companies and richest in the world is being sued, check back in about 25 years.

This is also what I have been thinking about this whole « Apple slows down your iPhone » situation.

Can people remember how this all started ? A stupid Geekbench test, yes, a benchmark. I think there are people that use benchmarks a lot more than they should, this kind of tests are fine for comparing the performance of a new phone compared to the previous one (and I said fine not great) but I just can’t see why some people run them like every freaking day to see if their phone is still good or if they should immediately swap it in the Apple Store. Just ****ing use your device in your day to day life and stop caring about those damn numbers, you’ll realize that your phone is working perfectly fine.

Oh and by the way, this « Apple slows down my device » conspiracy has been out for years and Apple officially aknowledge that this only affects the iPhone 6, 6s, 7 and SE since iOS 10 but apparently EVERYONE have this problem and jump on the hate wagon now that the media made their BS articles with click-bait titles.

P.S. : Good to see you back @Newtons Apple !

This type of litigation will take years in court. Its night an overnight process.
