$80 to undo what you did to slow down my phone.

What did they do? Prevent it from randomly shutting down? Because I’ll take a slower phone or a random hard shutdown any day of the week.

Was it wrong? Yes. But what else does any handset manufacturer do?

It’s useless, folks here will never believe that other devices do the same thing. I think they’d rather just have their device shut down at 25%.

On my original battery five years into having this iphone and it’s still screaming fast…

Agreed. Love how the Reddit act of downvoting has transferred to Lemmy /s

Here it’s just “someone enjoys iOS?! NOT ON MY WATCH”

I’ve got three Linux machines, six? Maybe seven? Windows machines, and I love the shit outta my iPhone. I was a first-adopter of Android with the Dream and loved it. But when I realized iPhones can last for 5-6 years with full updates AND STILL BE FAST with no effort, reformatting, or thinking about them… that’s all I want from a phone.

That and the privacy is better. It’s not perfect, but it’s lightyears better than ANYTHING google.

But on Lemmy, that makes me a baby toddler noob that knows nothing about computers, because if I just got this google device and did all of these mods to it and installed all this software and maintained it and BRAINED HARDER I could have a similar experience to my five year old iPhone
