    Funny that both nospam and Alan Baker responded to the thread:

    *guess what ... ANOTHER LETTER for Tim Cook from Congress*
    <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.ipad/c/hZuTrXQnFAE/m/esxv-js4AgAJ>

    All the iKooks own the cognitive skills and base memory of a gnat.
    *Which is why all iKooks are abnormally stupid & ignorant of facts*

    None of the iKooks reads the news like normal adults do.
    *All the iKooks ever read are Apple advertisements.*

    That's it.
    Nothing else.

    Just Apple ads.

    It's all they know is what Apple feeds them.
    *iKooks brazenly deny even what Apple publicly stated to Congress*

    To wit:
    *iPhone throttling of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X*
    <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/1RiqBADD-vE/Hry3kQmMFAAJ>

    In summary, the iKooks suffer from three fundamental human deficiencies:
    1. All iKooks are of abnormally low IQ & as a result none are educated
    (that's why they can't respond as an adult to articles of fact)

    2. All iKooks have been told their whole lives that they are stupid
    (and as a result, all iKooks suffer from abnormally low self esteem)

    3. Apple does NOT tell iKooks they're stupid - Apple loves the iKooks
    (and, in turn, the iKooks love Apple back - to the death it seems)

    The loyalty between Apple & the iKooks can easily be explained by that.
    *Even when Apple screws the low IQ iKooks - they _still_ love Apple!*
    --
    I don't begrudge Apple a profit motive but I do deplore HOW Apple does it. Particularly when Apple spends almost nothing in R&D and so much on ads.
    These ads are all that the iKooks know, and love, and believe in.

    Hi nospam,

    Thou dost bullshit too much.

    What shows nospam has a sadly low IQ and that he doesn't even have a
    working memory, is we covered, in detail, that Apple expressly told
    Congress that they redesigned the phones (just as Steve said) so that throttling wasn't needed "as much" (where the "as much" was covered too).

    This was _during_ the throttling brouhaha which nospam and Jolly Roger
    both deny ever happened (why do they deny what everyone already knows?).

    By brazenly denying what even Apple publicly stated to Congress...
    What nospam sadly lacks is the same as what Alan Baker & other iKooks lack.

    Memory.
    Intelligence.
    Knowledge.

    But mostly he lacks memory as nospam can't keep his excuses straight.

    So much for the consumer privacy aspect they claim to uphold. What they did
    was similar to what an unscrupulous car manufacturer would do. They
    withhold information about a defect in their vehicle. Then they tell
    mechanics to secretly install a patch which covers it up whenever the
    customer brings their vehicle in for maintenance. Then they deny there’s anything wrong when people start noticing it. And finally when they’re caught, they offer to fix it for a small price.

    They were only trying to protect their own privacy by secretly covering up
    the problem. If they truly cared about the consumer they would have issued
    a bulletin warning them of this problem and offered a discounted battery replacement program right at the start.

    They did eventually state that they made hardware changes that would

    the pmic has nothing to do with this issue, no matter how much you try

    The batteries in the iPhone 6, 6s, 7, were never defective.

    nobody said the batteries were defective.

    here in the real world, *all* batteries age, regardless of device or
    battery type, and as it ages, it can't supply the same current as it
    did when new.

    A
    battery replacement mitigated the root cause but it was not a permanent fix.

    false. it was a permanent fix, just like replacing a car battery fixes difficulty starting the engine, a peak demand.

    Chris,

    How could you possibly deny that batteries age consistently?
    And that they age below a working threshold over time?
    And that a smaller capacity battery reaches that threshold sooner?

    Do you really believe your own claim Apple has "special" chemistry?
    *The smaller battery will always chemically age sooner below threshold.*
    A car with a 10 gallon tank and 30 mpg will need to refuel more often than one with an 8 gallon tank and 40 mpg.
    You're the one who lied about having a PhD in the sciences, and yet you didn't know a single thing about basic chemistry, physics, or calculus.

    Unlike you with a fabricated science degree, every scientist and engineer
    is well acquainted with basic redox potential chemistry.

    What you don't seem to even begin to comprehend is that Apple's (admittedly bogus) _daily_ battery life claims are not what we're talking about here.

    What we're discussing, in terms of replacing batteries, is:
    *The smaller battery will always chemically age sooner below threshold.*
    He doesn't. He never does...
    What you iKooks seem to believe only in are Apple's advertisements.

    Those advertisements are about (admittedly bogus) battery life claims for daily use - but Apple doesn't advertise battery aging for its puny
    batteries.

    What you're also ignorant of is those cheap iPhone batteries are laughably puny compared to the huge batteries on most modern Android phones today.

    What you only know is Apple advertising that they're "more efficient" in daily use, which is bogus but it doesn't even matter for this topic.

    What matters is you need to comprehend two things:
    a. Battery daily life on a single charge (measured in hours)
    b. Battery overall life of a single battery (measured in years)

    They're different.
    a. One is most greatly affected by charge capacity & current draw.
    b. The other is affected by design capacity & chemical aging processes.

    You iKooks can't seem to comprehend these are DIFFERENT things:
    a. How many hours a battery lasts on a charge, versus
    b. How many years a battery lasts before aging below threshold.

    It's physics. It's chemistry. It's engineering. It's science.
    All stuff none of you uneducated low-IQ iKooks will ever understand.

    Put simply...
    *The smaller battery will always chemically age sooner below threshold.*

    Especially when that smaller battery is as laughably puny as those cheap pieces of utter crap batteries that Apple puts in all the latest iPhones.

    Nonsense. I know people with 5-year-old iPhones that still get a full day on the original battery's charge. Same for iPads.

    Wrong. Batteries aging and not delivering enough power to keep the
    device running isn't a defect, and the resulting spontaneous shutdowns
    affected Apple's competitor as well.

    Then they tell mechanics to secretly install a patch which covers it
    up whenever the customer brings their vehicle in for maintenance.

    Wrong. Applying a low pass filter to resource usage in the OS to prevent overloading a dying battery to prevent spontaneous shutdowns and extend
    runtime isn't covering anything up.

    Then they deny there’s anything wrong when people start noticing it.

    Apple didn't do that either. In fact, Apple stated that the feature was
    added in the iOS 10.2.1 release notes. You're on a failure roll,
    trollboi.

    And finally when they’re caught, they offer to fix it for a small
    price.

    What Apple actually did was placate gullible people who were easily
    fooled by disinformation to believe there was something wrong with
    batteries aging normally by offering a discounted battery replacement
    fee. And a bunch of people took Apple's offer.

    They were only trying to protect their own privacy by secretly

    I guess it comes down to whether you believe the phone belongs to you
    or whether it belongs to Apple. I happen to belong in the former. And
    as the owner of the device such modifications done on the sly don't sit
    well with me. I'm guessing all the government institutions which hand
    out iPhones to their employees for classified business don't appreciate software changes without explicit notice beforehand. I know my
    employer takes months to vet OS changes to our computers and phones
    before forced upgrades.

    The same goes for my car...

    nope. what they did was solve a problem of the phone suddenly and
    unexpectedly shutting down.

    again, to use your car analogy, if your car kept stalling at full
    throttle, and the car maker pushed a firmware update for the ecu so
    that it didn't stall under those conditions anymore, would you consider
    it a 'criminal action' ? or would you consider it a fix to a problem

    At the dealer, you'll often hear various explanations, especially when
    the vehicle is under warranty:

    "That's normal."
    "All vehicles do that."

    Sometimes the vehicle manufacturer will classify certain things as "acceptable," when they clearly are not. I.e. excessive oil burning. The manufacturer will insist that "one quart every thousand miles is normal."

    Topping off the oil allows the vehicle to operate properly but it
    doesn't address the root cause. It's the same with "Batterygate."
    Replacing the battery allows the phone to operate properly but it
    doesn't address the root cause.

    Often, addressing the root cause is not practical due to the cost.
    Sometimes the manufacturer is required to address the root cause.

    the root cause was addressed, both in firmware and also by a battery replacement for those who did not fully understand what the problem

    I guess it comes down to whether you believe the phone belongs to you

    as the owner of the device such modifications done on the sly don't sit
    well with me. I'm guessing all the government institutions which hand

    employer takes months to vet OS changes to our computers and phones
    before forced upgrades.

    The same goes for my car...

    No... ...it's not the same.

    Cars don't have operating systems; not in the way that computers and smartphones have operating systems.

    While there are people who want to vet every OS update, that's not the
    way it is for most people.

    I haven't checked about the phone itself, but you certainly do NOT own
    the OS running on it (like almost every other piece of software you've
    ever used). You agree to a license to use the OS when you first turn on
    the phone. Since it is only a license, the product is owned by Apple,
    so technically they can do whatever they want with it, including
    revoking your license to use it.

    1. Apple did not plead guilty. I dare you to find a single authoritative reference that says they did.

    2. Even if they did plead guilty (they didn't), it doesn't mean that
    their actions prior to that constitute a cover-up.

    Apple’s lack of transparency around iPhone throttling has backfired spectacularly as the firm finds itself in an uncomfortable position of
    having to explain why the original iOS 10.2.1 changelog didn’t
    immediately disclose the controversial performance management feature.

    iOS 10.2.1 was the very first iOS release with CPU throttling targeting
    older iPhones with worn-out batteries. The original releases notes,
    displayed on customers’ devices and published on Apple’s website, made
    no mention of this whatsoever.

    It was only after the throttling issue went mainstream that Apple
    quietly amended the iOS 10.2.1 release notes on its website to note
    that the software update also “improves power management during peak workloads to avoid unexpected shutdowns on iPhone.”

    Are you not aware that Apple was caught saying what you said when the

    Another lie.

    FACTS:

    Apple introduced the CPU throttling feature in iOS 10.2.1 (not iOS 11 as
    many erroneously claim) on January 23, 2017 and stated in the release
    notes that the release contained "general bug fixes and performance improvements", which is true since the feature improves (extends) the
    runtime of devices that have batteries that are unable to supply
    required current.

    Just a few days later in February 2017, after obtaining real world metrics about how the feature was actually working on real world devices outside
    of Apple, they clarified the release note to further explain the
    improvement saying it "improves power management during peak workloads
    to avoid unexpected shutdowns".

    You hate factual discourse, because you are only here to lie and troll,
    Arlen.

    update that slowed iPhones with battery problems in January 2017 but
    did not disclose the update’s power management effects until February 2017.'

    That's from YOUR source

    And it was the end of January - only a few DAYS had passed. But that
    doesn't fit the troll gang's narrative, so they lie about it instead.

    More lies. Here are the FACTS you and your little troll gang HATE
    with every fiber of your being:

    * The initial iOS 10.2.1 release note was posted on January 23, 2017.

    * The release note was clarified a few DAYS later in February 2017.

    * It wasn't until DECEMBER 2017 that Geekbench first reported seeing
    throttling and only while running peak performance benchmark tests.

    You have factual discourse. You are only here to lie and disrupt.

    Instead of calling everything you don't know about Apple a lie,

    You can't dispute the FACTS, which is why you snipped (and I've
    restored) them in your response - you're not interested in honest
    intellectual discourse, and are only here to spread weak lies and troll.
    FACTS scare you. You're a pathetic weakling, Arlen. Sad.

    why can't you admit that you didn't know any of this before today?

    I've known the FACTS above for years, Arlen.

    Long after, sunshine?

    Your own source says that Apple changed the release notes in "February
    2017"...

    ...and the update was only released on January 23, 2017.

    So literally the longest it could have been was 36 days after the release.

    Does that really qualify as "long AFTER the release"?

    I guess it comes down to whether you believe the phone belongs to you

    as the owner of the device such modifications done on the sly don't sit
    well with me. I'm guessing all the government institutions which hand
    out iPhones to their employees for classified business don't appreciate software changes without explicit notice beforehand. I know my
    employer takes months to vet OS changes to our computers and phones
    before forced upgrades.

    Mine used to as well. Then they realised that the risk of leaving publicly known vulnerabilities unpatched was far higher than any risk from the patch itself.

    Only major version updates are vetted now.

    You are sticking to your story that Apple pulled off in the criminal case
    what nobody in the history of the western world has ever been able to do?

    Apple admitted no wrongdoing in their settlement.

    Instead of confirming you're confusing the civil cases with the criminal
