Everyone remembers the iPhone slowdown scandal. He had software updates Apple slow down their older devices. The devices were slowed down mainly due to batteries deteriorating over time, which were no longer able to deliver the necessary energy at high performance at a certain point, which could lead to iPhone for example, unexpectedly shutting down. To prevent these problems, the company decided to implement software slowdowns, which were not announced in any way and initially received harsh criticism from most users. Although Apple he has paid for this cause with both his reputation and money, and it is far from over.
Fortunately, with the new iPhones Apple uses a different type of battery protection, so we don't have to worry about them slowing down:

According to Reuters, Apple a few days ago he was fined 5 million by the Italian antitrust authority euroIn addition, it can add another 5 million in fines for failing to provide its customers with clear information that should have informed them about proper battery maintenance.

The whole story about iPhone slowdowns started on Reddit, where after the release iOS 10.2.1 sparked quite an interesting discussion, in which several users reported that their iPhone does not run as well as before the update. Then, several curious people performed tests in the Geekbench program, which confirmed these claims. The tests were subsequently confirmed once again by the founder of Geekbench himself, which increased customer confidence in Apple even more eroded. After that, he could not stand the pressure and had to come out with the truth.
However, in its defense, the Apple company constantly repeats that it decided to use "throttling" software for the good of both customers and devices. She also gave the following statement on the whole matter: "Our goal is to keep our customers as happy as possible, which is why we try to extend the life of their devices as much as possible. Lithium batteries can lose their capacity and performance over time, especially in colder temperatures. This can cause the device to shut down to protect the computer."one"before destruction," he said Apple. So let's hope this fine from the old affair is the last.
This me Apple really annoyed me. I have iPhone 6s and currently according to Antutu I am at half the performance of a new one. And I changed the battery 2 years ago. They had Applu should be obliged to buy back all older devices and not give him a fine. From what I've read, the 6s has bad Power management already hard-wired into the chip from the factory and there's nothing you can do about it. It's just a design flaw. How long it lasts depends on the battery (it varies from piece to piece) and how often you charge it.
Screenshot or is it nesthello.
And when I look at how "judiciously" my Sony Xperia Tablet Z1 has been responding for some time, it is quite clear to me that there is no software pressure in this crap Apple alone. Of course, manufacturers want us to buy new devices as often as possible, but this is really a scam.
If they added it to the conditions that the user must agree to when updating, then they would be fine.
How many of you actually read them? And how many of you have noticed the difference between what is displayed on your mobile phone and what comes to your email when you have them sent to you...
even if it were under the conditions, it is not OK from a moral and legal point of view, you take it to mean that one day it will be under the conditions of apple to save my jobancIf he needs a kidney, are you obligated to give it to him???
That's what the conditions are all about. Whatever is in the terms and conditions and the user agrees to it is out of luck and the provider is in the right. Tests with the fact that people agreed on conditions such as stupidity like kidney, etc. were done, it was even shown somewhere on TV. Of course, people didn't believe what they signed, but from a legal point of view they were unlucky.
Fortunately, it was just a test.
A Apple He won't put similar things there for one simple reason, because they would spread it on their hooves in all the countries where he supplies equipment, that is, maybe only except for China :-D
"So let's hope this fine from the old affair is the last"
Why should we hope? Just make the bastard pay when they do things like that
That's very nice, isn't it Apple he was fined, but what about the owners of the affected ufounu? You sharp-eyed ones again…..
