It shows a lack of respect for their users, and for their users money.

They are charging the same for almost two years old hardware than they would if It had been updated, but the user gets a worst product, and in the long run, experience.

That only makes sense if you stop putting morons in charge, though.

You have dirt inside your lightning port. Clean it up and should be fine.

Yes and no.

the solution to the problem was the correct one, they just forgot one important detail.

TELL THE USER!

As a result, plenty of people, (including myself) noticing their two year phone starting to slow down quite a bit, decided to upgrade to the new and shiny model, instead of just replacing the battery, because who would have known that was the problem?!

And I've yet to experience a smooth web experience in an Android phone (using Chrome), or at least as smooth as on iOs..

Is that on the same time scale as Falcon Heavy doing it's first launch in 2013?

If you train any sport with any kind of seriousness you usually end up needing more advanced training features, like HR pacing, zones training, intervals for speed workouts, cadence..

There is no way to do all that properly with an Apple Watch as of today. Not to mention the pain that is to wait for the screen to turn on to see if you are running at the proper pace/HR vs a Garmin watch.

If you were still a runner, or did any type of sport with decent training, you would still be using Garmin or equivalent.

Apple watch just doesn't cut it. I own both (AW2 and Garmin 735xt) and I gave up trying to use the AW for any of the sports that I do. (Running, swimming, biking, gym, Triathlon)

Because it was found out that they were doing the battery thing. If not, he and everyone else would have continued suffering a poor experience without knowing that it was a battery problem, or bought a new iPhone.

I know that’s what happened to me with my 6s at least.

It might be about blacklisting older versions, so users can only install the newest version like on iOS.

I did. 6s to X one year before planned.

Stating that a battery replacement will fix it instead of letting them suffer and increasingly slow phone or buying a new one unnecessarily.

Apple hid the cause (an ageing battery), and purposely slowed down peoples phones without warning.

If your phone randomly shuts downs, or it last less time between charges, you know it must be a battery issue. You go to Apple or whatever, and fix it paying no more than 79$ (maybe even free if it still has warranty!)

If you hide it and degrade performance, people don't know its a battery issue, leaving them to suffer a slow phone, or spending 700+$ on a new phone.

No matter the good intentions, and the "good solution" they implemented, they fucked up.
