    You’re holding it wrong

    We’re slowing down your phone on purpose… for your own good

    We have to use a proprietary cable to protect our users from their own stupidity

      The issue with the second one was their failure to notify users about the throttling. It is a decent solution for an end of life battery to throttle the device to prevent crashes.

        Yeah I have zero qualms with my phone running slower if it means it doesn’t randomly reboot. That was the whole reason why Apple implemented it in the first place.

        You’re not going to be able to break through a lot of peeps Apple hate on Lemmy, it’s almost as strong as the Microsoft hate.

      I said usually. And all of those complaints were overblown or taken way out of context. Like the cable thing? A cheap-ass charging cable from China catches an iPhone on fire, the headlines would read “iPhone catches on fire.” Any hardware manufacturer would be wise to block unlicensed chargers like that. But consider their hardware releases…

      Smartphones prior to the iPhone sucked.

      MP3 players prior to the iPod sucked.

      Tablets prior to the iPad sucked.

      Smart watches prior to the Apple Watch sucked.
