Apple slowing down devices to extend battery life when the battery itself is low or degraded is awesome.
All the lawsuits coming out of this over recent years are uncalled for. Users that “suffer” from this likely need to simply replace the battery.
I expect an OS (and/or kernel) to manage resources. iOS/macOS actively doing so by adjusting its behavior when the battery’s shot is exactly the kind of magic people want in Apple products—so why is the opposite true when it comes to to this subject?
It’s wild to me that someone would be so upset as to sue over this.
Edit: I’m not arguing that Apple is superior or that everyone should happily go along with buying Apple products. The way a lot of these comments are written make it sound like they’re the only smartphone manufacturer and living with their software is forced upon you. If Apple makes you angry or unhappy, I happily encourage you to seek alternatives; I don’t believe any one company can make the perfect product for 100% of people.
You’re advocating for anti-choice, which is anti-consumer and against freedom. Just thought I’d point it out.
What are you talking about? The consumer can choose another platform if it’s such a problem.
I hate Windows. You know what I don’t do? I don’t continue buying it, find something I can’t change about it (hell, let’s say the Registry) then turn around and complain I don’t have “choice” or “freedom.”
