[Vanity] Anyone ever have their iPhone “disabled” for a period of time without explanation?
Now they would not do that would they, just to keep you buying new models, now would they??? Apple is a reputable company making their iPone using slave labor?
Nope. This is a bullshit complaint.
The phones shutdown when the battery is empty.
Apple slows the processors down to save power when you get very low.
Must be democrats trying to extort funds.
Battery goes dead.
Good use of tax dollars. Not. If you don’t like the speed of your iPhone then buy something else.
This happened to “alot” of people I know.
Told em get a Samsung....
They solved the problem by upgrading to new Iphone...
Can I dust off my iPhone4s?
Oh noes!!
How will they keep up with all their licks and looks, or something......
I’m more concerned about losing coverage as ATT goes 5G, they are replacing older technology which decreases the service area (there’s only so much space on a tower) for older phones. I used to have three bars on my phone and now usually none (as in no service available). I’m at the same place I was 13 years ago, so that hasn’t changed.
We’ve been through this before. I don’t know whether the state got involved back then, or the feds. But the problem ended for me and hasn’t returned. Can’t believe Apple would try that again, because it cost them, iirc.
Verizon LG phones worked fine until they started dropping calls during the daytime in April even though we could see the antennas on an actual Verizon building.
I suspect Verizon couldn't handle the volume of daytime calls from altered phone habits from COVID19; telecommuters now in the suburbs who previously met face to face in the city, used city cell towers, or used business lines.
Verizon no longer had deals with LG but its non-LG replacement hasn't once had a dropped call. Carriers such as Verizon want you to buy a new phone on payment plans and likely programmed their network to prioritize the newer phone contracts. Non-prioritized phones, constantly reaching out to towers, are going to run down the battery faster.
I have a 2014 3G Samsung ‘Rugby” flip phone, which gets 6-7 days to a charge. But I’m told that as of Feb 2021, it will no longer work, due to everything going 5G.
I loathe, despise and hate Apple, but will look into the SE, as I can’t figure out the Samsung Galaxy models.
This is an interesting site for those seeking to understand batteries in general, and lithium-ion batteries in particular:
https://batteryuniversity.com/
https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
They strongly recommend against fully charging lithium batteries.
I’m convinced they do the same with iMacs and MacBook Pros, etc.
Would not surprise me if they do. I don’t have an I phone but “smart” track phone sure slowed down and stopped working when it got about 3 years old. Its battery was fully charged when it quit.
