The-Apostle 02/10/20 9:48:08 PM #2:	Lol imagine literally owning an iPhone in 2020. Seriously though, doesn't every company do this? That's what I heard. It's because they want to pull money out of your ass by slowing older hardware down to the point where you need to buy the latest crap. --- http://goo.gl/mnO36O #GoPackGo Not changing sig until NHL players are allowed to play in the Olympics.

Generally, planned obsolescence refers to making hardware cheap enough that it will break. Sometimes you will see things like a new version of an operating system having higher base requirements, but what Apple was doing was a little more deliberate than either of those other examples. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

UnholyMudcrab 02/10/20 9:55:05 PM #5:	My reading of this is that they weren't fined strictly for slowing the phones down, they were fined for concealing the fact that they were doing so. --- https://imgur.com/VeNBg https://imgur.com/gd5jC8q https://imgur.com/PKIy7 https://imgur.com/3p29JqP <cite>UnholyMudcrab posted [p:934208862] in Apple fine...

First, older phones running newer OS were running slower to prolong battery life (which should have been a setting and not forced) but the thing they were fined for was not informing users that this was happening and deliberate. --- From the depths, the thing they called Worm King did rise.

Yeah, this is what I got too. Batteries will deteriorate over time so the phones will have to be slowed to prolong battery life. --- "Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion.
