13 September 2018
All models come with the same 5W charger.

They'll only talk about the "benefits" without discussing the risks or downplaying the dangers.

That's rule no. 1 on deceptive marketing and advertising: Keep your customers as ignorant and uninformed as possible to avoid losing sales.

    After the death of Steve Jobs, Apple is falling... Slowly.

Do they write a warning on the fast charger that it may kill the battery sooner? They don't because they want your money anyway. Realize this!

        Same as sony. Sony never include a fast charger in their flagships too.

Make low prices so they get millions of buyers and give a lot, but like others they ask 100 euro for so little that you get either one car unlocked on first star and some low number of cas and few packs and some credit with in luck you get few more cars open on 1 star.

          If i can buy Tomb Raider game that comes out tomorrow for 45 euro and later on the year Assassins creed for 45 euro i have still left 10 euro for what ever then. From these games i would get 100 hours fun for sure and get full game that you can get things open and maxed and still have things to do then why would i buy anything from these games.

          Not one game that have these IAP's dont have low prices but still there are people who dont have a problem paying for it.

            Fast charge 2, Nexus 6, three years 4 months, everything's still fine, with battery,

              Karma never forgets and never forgives. All that rises, has to fall one day.
              It's just matter of time. Blackberry, Nokia, Motorola,HTC are examples from the industry.

                "But hey, you don't get to be a trillion dollar company without cutting a few corners, even if the corners happen to be important." - you got it. You can't make money unless you know people want your product, and you can ask for more than usual. There are no alternatives if you want Apple!

                  I bet it still doesnt record stereo audio too...
                  Its Apple after all...minimum tech invest, max profit...

                    Fast charging.

                    Let's talk about that using the famous quote: "With great power comes great responsibility". Fast charging, while a nice feature, should be used responsibility. Fast charge only when necessary, like when you're in a hurry. Otherwise, stick to slow charging to prevent battery degradation.

                          problem here is not apple.

                          it is this mob of stupid buyers that still go for this product, feed apple with their money, and in the end apple screws them up with debatable quality of products at exorbitant prices

If it last you a year and then start to slow down and be killed after 2 years, then you already anyways looking for new device cause you see something new and you need to get it.

                            You have money to spend on gadget you dont need and there are big market all over the world who are too dumb and dont see this expensive.

                              Raresmalinschi21, 13 Sep 2018Why is Apple the New Gameloft also how's the Steve Jobs TheaterI didn't go. I watched the live event and ended the video after unveiling the phones.

                              Yep, if Apple is the greediest of smartphone companies, Gameloft on the other hand is the greediest in the gaming industry.

                                  I've owned 3 iphones before (last one was a 6S plus) and their battery didnt do too great either over time. But I guess the latest iphones may be better in that department.

Also they are ok with you using the fast charger if you are ready to buy charger separately after spending $1000+ on the phone.
                                      So its not about safety .. Its about exploiting the consumer as much as possible..

                                        Always had iphone and I never felt the need to get a fast charger... To me, all thoses features are still extras that are not necessarily a "must have or an essential" I am doing really fine with my iphone 7 Plus 128Go. I unplug my device at 6AM, going trough the day and at the end of the day (around 10-11PM, i am still around 40%... so why bother about a fast charge?!?! Maybe for thoses who are living in a virtual world on facecrap, instacrap, twitcrap ect... specially to avoid reality and real people...
