    Breakthrough technology, never seen before in the mobile market. Apple, like always, surprises the word with the latest never seen before tech that will become mainstream in the near future, thanks to apple and its affordable pricing for everyday customers.

    Now just slap that 2,5-3k RRP on the device and let it sell out in.

      Apple’s entire history as an org has been as a fast follower, not a first mover.

      The Apple Newton is a great example of why they avoid being a first mover.

          The UI lead just left the company within the last couple of months. Reports are the staff is overjoyed at that news. A lot of turnover in their leadership this past year, actually. Feels like this may be a new chapter coming up for the company. Rumor is Tim Apple may retire next year.

          You’re holding it wrong

          We’re slowing down your phone on purpose… for your own good

          We have to use a proprietary cable to protect our users from their own stupidity

            The issue with the second one was their failure to notify users about the throttling. It is a decent solution for an end of life battery to throttle the device to prevent crashes.

              Yeah I have zero qualms with my phone running slower if it means it doesn’t randomly reboot. That was the whole reason why Apple implemented it in the first place.

              You’re not going to be able to break through a lot of peeps Apple hate on Lemmy, it’s almost as strong as the Microsoft hate.

            I said usually. And all of those complaints were overblown or taken way out of context. Like the cable thing? A cheap-ass charging cable from China catches an iPhone on fire, the headlines would read “iPhone catches on fire.” Any hardware manufacturer would be wise to block unlicensed chargers like that. But consider their hardware releases…

            Smartphones prior to the iPhone sucked.

            MP3 players prior to the iPod sucked.

            Tablets prior to the iPad sucked.

            Smart watches prior to the Apple Watch sucked.
