Apple pays first damages in US for slowing down production of older iPhones – Tablets and phones – News

I understand very well Apple’s position not to debate it too much in public opinion.

Few consumers also understand (or bother to understand) the real facts surrounding this story.

Yes, Apple was wrong to solve the problem underwater without properly explaining it to the outside world. The problem was simple: an iPhone uses a battery and can place a peak load on the battery. As the battery aged, the peak load was a reason why the devices suddenly failed because the battery could not supply it. That is why old batteries started to slow down the phones during peak loads (which ultimately made the device slower for certain applications, such as cameras, telephone calls and GPS activities).

Awkwardly, Apple has kept this a bit quiet in how they tackled the problem. They admitted this and therefore offered all consumers the opportunity to replace the battery for approximately €25 for a year, mainly for the iPhones 6(+) to 7. The

They have also introduced innovation that suits the user’s rhythm by charging the battery on your bedside table to 90% or so and then charging it to 100% an hour or half an hour before you get up. A Li-Ion battery feels a bit sick from 0-10% and at 90-100%.

Based on your comment, I understand that this is all quite complicated, but look at it this way if you only charge your battery to 80% and let it drain to 20%, you can probably last 10 years with your battery undisturbed without having to use your iPhone somewhere. should limit in terms of performance. Regardless of support and software compatibility.

BTW, this is the reason why every Dyson user who keeps his Dyson charged and ready in the holder at the socket has to buy a new battery every 2.5 years, while the charging cycles do not come close to smartphone use. Also the reason that no (good) device with 100% battery or 0% is on the shelves of stores.
