This may seem true for an Apple user and someone who follows a lot of
Apple news, but as a Samsung S7 owner, I certainly saw Samsung getting
slaughtered on the news, in the blogosphere, and every time I got on a
plane. It's hard to imagine Apple would have suffered more, although I
do agree people like taking pot shots at the company that's on the top
and tweaking the Apple fan boys.

would have been slaughtered, certainly a lot worse than Samsung.

I don’t either, I’m just thankful for the accessible technology they have
provided for us. The iphone has opened up so many opportunities because of apps
such as Digit Eyes, Seeing ai, Be My Eyes and Knfb Reader, just to mention a
few. Going to the grocery store has certainly changed for the better for us. It
would be really hard if we didn’t have these apps.

For what it’s worth I think this is all a case of a storm in a teacup.
To put the balance straight it is worth remembering that Apple has probably
done more than any other company for us.
I do not accept that there is a conspiracy on Apple’s part.
Happy new year to you all.

It is a trust fact. This attitude from Apple has shown a lot of
disloyalty to their customers. They should not hide this things. They
had a lot of opportunities to share this issues but they rather to
hide it. Here is where the theory that Apple was trying to sell more
new phones earns more strength

So there are a few class action suits in progress, Apple will either defeat
them or settle them, they have so much money that it is not going to cause Tim
Cook to loose sleep over it. Going forward they hopefully learned something,
the new battery status app or settings area or whatever it will be shows they
can provide the information to the device user.

They are going to be sue because they didn't informe the customers about that
weird operation that reduce performance, and neither they provided any choice.
They have done all of this quietly and for years.

LOL, apology… Yeah right! If they really want to show remorse, they would give
us the ability to toggle the throttling on or off. Good luck getting them to do
that though.

'We Apologize.' Apple Offers $29 Fix After Uproar Over Slowing Down
Old iPhones Apple has apologized to its customers for what it calls
a "misunderstanding"
around the revelation that the company has been slowing down older
phones to accommodate for their aging batteries.
"We know that some of you feel Apple has let you down. We apologize,"
the company said in a letter published on its website Thursday.
The controversy over the slowing performance of aging iPhones
exploded last week after a blog post highlighted the relationship
between iPhone performance and battery condition. Apple later
confirmed that it has been slowing older iPhones' performance to
prevent sudden shutdowns as their aging batteries lost potency over time.
In the letter posted Thursday, Apple said it considers batteries
"consumable components" and that it has always wanted customers to
be able to use iPhones "as long as possible." To that end, the
company will cut the price of a battery replacement by $50 for
anyone with an iPhone 6 or later starting in late January. That
means instead of dropping $79 to get a new battery and make your old
iPhone work like new again, you'll pay $29 through December 2018.
iPhone users can also expect an iOS software update early in 2018
that will include new information about their battery's health,
letting people see when the phone's battery may be affecting its performance.
The iPhone battery revelations struck a chord because some iPhone
users believe the company intentionally slows its older phones to
get customers to buy new ones. However, Apple says the practice is
meant to prolong the life of older batteries. "This feature's only
intent is to prevent unexpected shutdowns so that the iPhone can still be used,"
Apple says in a new support article.
Still, Apple is now facing several lawsuits over the matter. The
company also promised to keep working on how it manages performance
to avoid shutdowns, and said it hopes to earn customers' trust again next year.
