iPhone batteries don’t blow up like pixels.

It's true, they just get nerfed into planned obsolesce which causes the company to get sued.

[-] rowdy@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago

Wait until you hear what the fix is for the exploding Pixel batteries

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Oh I'm aware. Apple set the trend just like they did with the pricing of non Apple devices.

[-] rowdy@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

We're really not gonna devolve into "Apple is to blame for everything other manufacturers do" argument are we? These companies blow - but blaming one to excuse the others is nutty.

Name a hated trend in phones which apple didn't do first

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

You're right. Apple charging $1000 dollars for a device had no bearing on capitalism's way of setting prices based on what consumers are willing to pay... Look up ultrabooks.

[-] rowdy@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Sounds like your issue is with capitalism. Fair.

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

It is, but it's also with trillion dollar companies with slave labor, and no I'm not just talking about Apple this time.

[-] rowdy@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Now you’re getting it.

They then fixed the issue and are now more transparent about the health of your battery than many Android manufacturers. While "battery gate" had been a problem for a little while around 2017, it hasn’t been in more than 7 years. Old iPhones last a very long time these days and warn you if your battery is degraded to a point where it’ll affect the usability of your iPhone.

I've had like 5 and I have zero idea what you're referring to
