You’re joking, I hope. Does “batterygate” ring any bell?
Or maybe you want to look at Macbooks?
Or Airpods?
“Batterygate” was a PR issue. They should have been transparent that replacing the battery fixes it. Lithium ion batteries have a finite lifespan.
MacBooks and AirPods are a right to repair issue, not planned obsolescence. Right to repair is something that the industry as a whole sucks at and it’s getting worse because every company is going down this path, not just Apple.
Right to repair is my biggest issue with Apple. They need to do better at this, especially if they’re claiming to be so “green.” However, I’m not letting everybody else off the hook when one and two year old smartphones are rendered obsolete by the other OEMs through software.
Maybe I want my phone to run the battery down quickly and get the full performance of my hardware. In typical Apple fashion, they’ve decided what’s best for the user without giving them a choice or explaining what’s happening or why.
