well, I consider it rather interesting that Apple didn't make this public. It was in some of the technical data for beta testing. In fact, they have had an algorithm in place since iOS 9.x called low power mode (which is essentially the same type of protection, except it is triggered at 20% battery level). Also, since iOS 6, statistics have been fed back to apple via their quality assurance settings inside the phone, and some of those stats included battery health. So, it is likely that they knew about battery issues well in advance of the current technology.
anyway, aside of apple keeping it under their hat, I dopes along with some conspiracy theorists have concocted a scenario whereby they can sue apple and actually have it make it into court. -eric n't see the issue here. unfortunately, the lawyer t On Dec 29, 2017, at 12:31 AM, Simon Fogarty wrote: > 'm to polite to say that on the list! > > > -----Original Message----- > From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of E.T. > Sent: Friday, 29 December 2017 3:27 PM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: Apple Apologizes After iPhone Battery Slowdown Controversy | Time > > Uh huh and what am I saying right now? > > From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . > "God for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of the world, all the > challenges to our intelligence.
