Everybody bashing Apple for one year launching a not so great device in terms of durability.
So what? Many androids fall even lower to that category, flagship wise.
Look at the Nexus 6P, awesome phone but prone to bend with much less force.
I'm noway an apple fan, actually i never owned an apple device.
But all that bashing jeez...

If my phone battery will be good just for a few months i will buy something like doogeee for less than 100$. For such high price i think its reasonable to expect my phone will last more.
Also weird timing your battery to be gone when new flagship is launched :)

Anonymous, 25 May 2018Yes.. You still need to read.. The battery is "done" means ... moreOk, let's go from the biginning. Apparently you really think you're smart. First i take your learned theory and i hit you in your eyes with it, cause apparently you ain't getting it. Now, i am not saying it ain't true. I am saying in connection with Apple (cause about apple we are talking about) it is just an excuse, to sum it up: it is called bull***. First things first. Devices got slower even if they never encountered "sudden death". From iphone 4 to iphone 6. Second, people do not charge their devices the same way or pattern. Their are people who charge their devices with a patern or without, and their are people forcing battery to deplete very fast (causing faster degradation) or not, and OH so many ways of using a smartphones battery. So definetly not everybody had their batteries causing problems. Still cpu's were throttled. Now the second important part is? Making a phone call WILL ask for more power(voltage) then using the cpu at it's pick (my antenna references, ring a bell?). So, voltage hog would be "calling" and as you keep trying to claim... cpu internals. Capacity hog would be the screen. Keeping it simple. Now Throtteling the cpu it ain't gonna help me making a call with a battery in a state of degradation (unstable) now, ain't it? So, to sum it up. Apple slowed down the devices because they wanted user to buy new devices and has nothing to do with your claim. Simple, fact, point down. Aufwiedersehen. If they wanted to "help" users to keep their devices longer (stil laughting at this joke) they could have right from the beginning reaching to users that have unstable problems and offer them a battery replacement. This is what a company that claims it is true to it's customers does. Not throtteling cpu's in the background and then comming up with a plausible excuse that caused all to not think further.

My point stands. When the battery is done, at the point it cannot deliever, you can do whatever you want, the phone will still be unstable, cause? The battery is done. Logic. At that level of wear, the battery can only go one way. Worst with every Mounth till the point of not turning on the device. So spare me with the nonsense apple implemeted in your head. It ain't working.

If they knew and unlikely fixed all of that before it's released, YouTubers like UnboxTherapy wouldn't be popular today. Same goes for JerryRigEverything where he's a cash cow on how high quality the phone will be to overcome stress tests.
Speaking of which, I remembered TechofTomorrow or LinusTechTips teamed up with a sub 50k sub UnboxTherapy back in 2013. It was only 2014 where he made unboxings a thing, rather hyping Apple fans with bad news.

Just cos it is more lik... moremy iPhone 6 did bend like butter. and had loss problem like all other 99% of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. 4 times repair, 2 times replacement (they say they give you a new device but all replacement Apple devices which doesn't ship with sealed and original package are refurbished devices and Apple just fool us) didn't solve the loss problem. i have had my device 6months in use, about 4months of the time was my phone in repair shop or on the way . keep in mind iJunks are most expensive phones.
Back to subject, if you have your iPhone 6 in your pocket after some days you have a iBoomerang instead of iPhone.

We all know Apple. A dirty, horrible, disgusting, pathetic company which only thinks about money nothing else. Apple doesn't give a damn about anything on this planet except money and unfortunately out there are enough stupid people to buy and more horrible to defend Apple.

I have never had or used a iphone 6 or 6 plus but have coworkers who use it as their regular phone since a few months from launch and they have no bend on their phone..
And the example in my reply was to the comment saying 'fix it for free'..

Carol, 25 May 2018Your theory, probably learned from apple, sounds very intel... moreYou clearly have no idea about the issue and what is causing it.. It would be better you read and understand the problem before calling others stup*d or lack common sense..
Apple hadn't throttled the cpu so that your phone can run longer on a single charge..
When your cpu runs at the maximum clock (like when you open a heavy demand app) it draws more current and with a worn out battery the iPhone is not being able to maintain a stable voltage while supplying that current.. So the phone shuts down cos it doesn't have enough power.. This can happen at even 90% of your charge..
The problem is in no way related to the length of time your phone will remain on..
So before calling others stup*d atleast get your facts straight..

There should be law that say every court case documents related to big companies and are related to its users, should be public, after all we, as users are linked to such cases and we should know what companies did.
That would be really hilarious to see all those companies that would need to actually tell the truth to users :D
