The figure of the day: against Apple filed a lawsuit for $ 999,999,999
During these years in Apple has flown many lawsuits from former partners, future competitors and even loyal customers. But today will be a record. A certain Violetta Mailyan wants to sue Apple 1 trillion dollars. Why does he demand? Because " these bastards " remotely slowed her iPhone .
It is clear that no one will seriously consider this claim. The amount of the claim is slightly higher than Apple's, the severity of Apple's misconduct is also quite arbitrary, and herself Violeta clearly does not want justice, and photos in news. Rather, it is a suit in the style of the driver who had an accident due to Instagram, but preferred to blame his iPhone in everything.
Here, the very fact that claims and customer dissatisfaction for last 3 months flew in Apple probably more than all the time of the reign of Jobs. What are the only problems with deliveries of the iPhone X, the sunken Face ID , suits from Qualcomm or this very story with artificial braking of iPhones.
What the history with slowing iPhones?
Lithium-ion battery packs with time lose capacity because of what a smartphone can badly " hold " the charge, quickly sit or turn off ahead of time. Therefore, in Last year, Apple decided to cheat and at iOS 10.2.1 update has taught the 6th- generation iPhones to reduce the processor's frequency to avoid peak power consumption and prevent premature disconnection of the smartphone. The patch worked pretty neat and specific changes in the frequency of the processor can be traced only in synthetic tests. Note on his eye is virtually impossible. AND all would be nothing if would not Apple I did not mention this fact.
