Re: Apple's iPhone slowdown sparks fraud lawsuit - CNET

[Mike Arrigo]

While I'm not sure that it was an attempt by Apple to get people to 
purchase a newer model of phone, they should have disclosed that they 
were doing this when the update was released, or at least given the 
user a choice as to whether the phone would be slowed down, so Apple 
was not totally innocent here.

Apple's iPhone slowdown sparks lawsuit alleging fraud
The plaintiffs contend that an Apple software tweak that slows down older
iPhones was a ploy to spur upgrades to pricier models.
December 22, 2017 8:25 AM PST



Apple disclosed Wednesday that it updated the software of older iPhones to
slow them down when the battery can't keep up with the phone's computer.
Sarah Tew/CNET
Apple's controversial iPhone slowdown is drawing legal fire.
A pending lawsuit against Apple says a software tweak that slows some older
iPhones to counteract problems found in aging batteries is a fraud designed
to spur upgrades to the latest model.
Apple didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
After years of complaints from consumers that their iPhones seem slower once
a new model is released, Apple on Wednesday disclosed it was indeed slowing
the performance of some older iPhones under particular circumstances. When
batteries age, become very cold or operate at low power, their currents can
spike when the phone's computer tries to hit higher speeds. Rather than
having a phone shut down automatically to protect itself, Apple said that
last year it tweaked its iOS software for some older iPhones so they slow
down instead.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern
division, represents five people who claim the company purposefully updated
the phones' operating system to dampen its performance as a way of
"fraudulently forcing iPhone owners to purchase the latest model from
Apple," according to a release from attorney James Vlahakis of Lombard,
Illinois-based Atlas Consumer Law.
The plaintiffs allege this fraud applies to updates to the iPhone 5, iPhone
6 and certain iPhone 7 models.
Apple's disclosure this week didn't include the iPhone 5. The company said
the software update applied to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, 6S and 6S Plus and
SE, and earlier this year was extended to the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. It will
be applied to other Apple devices in the future, the company said.
In the past, Apple has routinely said it doesn't purposely slow phones to
encourage customers to replace them. Apple said in a statement earlier this
week that the goal of the battery-related slowing was "to deliver the best
experience for customers."

I think that it is simply a case of folks looking for money or some kind of 
freeby, like an upgrade to an iPhone 8 or 10. Also, there are lawyers who 
are always sniffing for blood in the water.

RE: Apple's iPhone slowdown sparks fraud lawsuit - CNET

[M. Taylor]

Hello Aleeha,

Of course, I agree with you but I think the issue is that Apple has been 
telling people that such a practice did not occur.  

It's the dishonesty that people take issue with.

Just be upfront with everyone, and most will appreciate the honesty.

Case in point, there is a software bug with iPhone 8 that, at present, only 
occurs on iPhone 8.  It is not a significant bug, but, a bug, nevertheless.

When I and many others asked Apple about this bug, they denied it even though, 
later, they acknowledged it.  

The problem is that they knew of the bug at the time when we all reported it.

I will not go into details of the bug, at this time but it's difficult not to 
get angry at a company that deliberately lies to its customers.

Just some food for thought, as it were.

Mark

I don’t' know about the merits of these particular law suits, but you're making 
a straw man argument. The Samsung problem had nothing to do with this. 
Something entirely different.
What people may argue and I may be inclined to agree with is by slowing devices 
down, the manufacturer is not so subtly nudging folks into upgrading their 
device when a less expensive option was available the entire time. I mean pay 
$60 to $100 for a battery swap or $600 and up for a whole new phone?
Sure, I guess some folks may go out and buy a whole new computer when their PC 
begins to get all slow and buggy, but how many of us take the time to first go 
through less expensive options first? Replace this or upgrade components that 
or simply start from scratch by reformatting the machine all together. 
Besides, who's to say that Apple knows best on how you should use your device? 
This will probably freak out libertarians to no end. 
I will say, I just recently replaced the battery on my business 5S and while 
it's still a four year old phone now, I have noticed an improvement in overall 
snappiness with VoiceOver. I use it for the most basic of tasks. Mainly making 
and receiving calls with maybe a few extra apps like a timer for working out or 
cooking or Pandora, but all in all, improved battery aside, VO and iOS 
performance isn't as sluggish. I have no need to replace or upgrade my 5S and 
with my new battery, I can probably get some more good use out of it now. I’m 
going to ride this bad boy until the wheels fall off.

I’m sorry, but this sounds like a pile of crap to me. I would rather a company 
slow my device if the battery is unsafe than allow it to run at the same speed 
it would as new and then…. Samsung Note 7, anyone? All joking aside, I would 
rather have a safe, slower functioning product than one that shuts off at

Re: Really confused about how to move apps now since updating to iOS 11

['Carol Pearson' via VIPhone]

Yes, Mary, I found it pretty baffling at first but now really like it 
and use with ease.


You will get there, honestly.

Perhaps you could try to write down your steps and we could look at 
what's going wrong.


I certainly was sometimes trying to do the old way with the double tap 
and hold.


I hope you sort it soon but do come back if you still have problems. I 
found it infuriating that I couldn't do this basic task for a few days.


Happy Christmas to you and all!

Hi Mary,

It sounds like you go on the app you want to move, start editing mode 
but then right away go to the folder where you want to put the app. 
You forget the one step which is after you start editing mode and 
while you are still focused on the app you want to move you flick down 
to drag and double tap that.


As somebody pointed out, in iOS 10 this used to be called “Move”, the 
nice thing is that in iOS 11 you can drag/move multiple apps at once. 
After you start editing mode and have focus on the first app flick to 
Drag and double tap, now go to another app you want to move or maybe 
you want to create a new folder and also flick down to Drag and double 
tap. Each time you do this Voiceover says you added this to the drag 
session and once you have all the apps marked, now go to the folder 
you want to add them to, flick to Add to Folder and double tap.


It works like a charm and I have not heard anybody say it wasn’t 
working and now in iOS 11.1 the “edit” option is there again, prior to 
11.1 you had to double tap and hold on an app like in the old days and 
now with devices which support 3D Touch quite a few people who maybe 
tend to tap their screen quite hard had problems with this because 
instead of starting editing mode they would invoke the 3D Touch 
shortcut menu.

 The problem seems to be that once I put focus on the News folder, the

Hi Mary,

Drag is the new move.

So, flick to drag after you start editing and double tap.

Then, go to the folder you want to drop it into and flick down
until you get to add newsline to folder.

Then you may here "drop ready" and then double tap and it should work.

I have not been able to turn it on either using my iPhone or my computer or

When I try running Bosch I am not getting the audio description.

I’m wondering if anybody can tell me whether it is or is not available in

Apple's iPhone slowdown sparks fraud lawsuit - CNET

[M. Taylor]

Apple's iPhone slowdown sparks lawsuit alleging fraud
The plaintiffs contend that an Apple software tweak that slows down older
iPhones was a ploy to spur upgrades to pricier models.
December 22, 2017 8:25 AM PST
 
Apple disclosed Wednesday that it updated the software of older iPhones to
slow them down when the battery can't keep up with the phone's computer. 
Sarah Tew/CNET 
Apple's controversial iPhone slowdown is drawing legal fire. 
A pending lawsuit against Apple says a software tweak that slows some older
iPhones to counteract problems found in aging batteries is a fraud designed
to spur upgrades to the latest model.  
Apple didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment.  
After years of complaints from consumers that their iPhones seem slower once
a new model is released, Apple on Wednesday disclosed it was indeed slowing
the performance of some older iPhones under particular circumstances. When
batteries age, become very cold or operate at low power, their currents can
spike when the phone's computer tries to hit higher speeds. Rather than
having a phone shut down automatically to protect itself, Apple said that
last year it tweaked its iOS software for some older iPhones so they slow
down instead.  
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern
division, represents five people who claim the company purposefully updated
the phones' operating system to dampen its performance as a way of
"fraudulently forcing iPhone owners to purchase the latest model from
Apple," according to a release from attorney James Vlahakis of Lombard,
Illinois-based Atlas Consumer Law. 
The plaintiffs allege this fraud applies to updates to the iPhone 5, iPhone
6 and certain iPhone 7 models.  
Apple's disclosure this week didn't include the iPhone 5. The company said
the software update applied to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, 6S and 6S Plus and
SE, and earlier this year was extended to the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. It will
be applied to other Apple devices in the future, the company said. 
In the past, Apple has routinely said it doesn't purposely slow phones to
encourage customers to replace them. Apple said in a statement earlier this
week that the goal of the battery-related slowing was "to deliver the best
experience for customers."
