iPhone X Is the latest wave of attacks on iPhones and iPhone byers orchestrated?

Just the battery lifespan, which is not new or unique to Apple. What was new was Apple attempting to prolong the lifespan of older devices with degraded batteries rather than simply letting the devices fail outright. A battery replacement is perfectly valid and I do not see Samsung offering a similar deal. They drop their old models like hot potatoes.

Why do you think the risk of batteries failing in under 2 years is suddenly a non issue? You suggest Apple are being kind by trying to expand the life of iPhone users batteries with an update but why is the lifespan suddenly so short? My daughter is still using my iPhone 4 and it’s been charged a few thousand times in its 7 year life. Sure it’s slow but the battery hasn’t failed.

Personally if my 14 month old iPhone 6S started to experience behaviour where it was suggested I needed a new battery, I’d be pretty pissed off and not willing to pay a fee for a replacement. If it came to that I’d be considering arguing the ‘sale of goods act’ for the product as if it’s failing in under 2 years use, there is reasonable reason it wasn’t fit for purpose as it was sold to me on a 2 year contract.

I'd say some of the complaints, yea. Probably. But not all. The only company that could go that low to do such tings in my mind, would be Samsung, since they did it to HTC in the past as well. But I doubt it'd do much damage to Apple since most of it's customers don't even know about sites like Macrumors, nonetheless Forums and people who are on them reading shady comments from shady users will see trough them. With that being said, Apple is far from perfect and many, many MANY of the complaints are real.

Some most definitely. This year iPhone users are contributing to some of the negativity and I don’t remember it being as strong with previous releases. I was recently accused of working for Samsung/Android because I’ve criticised the pricing of the iPhone X. Apparently I’ve been posting here for 5 years with 4 years and 9 months of positive iPhone posts building up to this release.

Not sure where people are seeing attacks on iPhone buyers. There was more “civil war” between 8/8+ buyers and X buyers moreso than anything else. Apple is seeing criticism and being called out for a lot of missteps right now that started with September keynote. Anyone taking up arms on either side of any issue (choice of purchase, software problems, battery throttle, etc) and is going to take voiced or typed opinions/experiences from strangers as personal slights should log off, go do something else, and remember what’s really important in life.

I admit that certain posts can grate my nerves, but I see everything as a case study in human behavior. The lack of empathy and respect in many posts leads me to all sorts of theories and conclusions, but nothing about a personal attack on myself as an iPhone buyer... I laugh at typing that. Regardless, whoever these so-called paid attackers are, Apple has their loyal unpaid contingent to speak out in defense. All is well.
