Apple is apologizing after admitting a Software Update deliberately slowed some iphones. Its done to prevent sudden shoulddowns in the iphone 6, but as a side effect, other apps run slower. They said, we know some of you feel apple has let you down. We apologize. We have never and would never do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any apple product. Apple is discounting the cost of battery replacements on certain phones. Dan ackerman is a section editor at cnet. Great to have you at the table. This is confusing. Explain how this all went down. Its a complicated issue. What apple did was come up with an entirely not unreasonable solution to a problem thats not easy to fix. Thats batteries that we use for everything, as they get older, they cant give out the energy at the same peak levels. When you have apps on your phones that want to do on their older phones, the phones would shut down. That happened to me with my iphone 6 plus. They had a Software Update. Most are detaermed by the updates, that said were going to tune up these peaks. Theyre trying to make the battery last longer. Its interesting. This did make me think when i read this story, when you had a blackberry, youd take the battery out yourself and put a new one in. With the iphone, its not easy to do. You actually have to go into the store and have it done for you. Apple is now saying theyre going to allow you to follow your battery life more easier easily on your iphone. Explain that. Yes. Theyre not going to change what the Software Update did in slowing your phone down to extend the battery life but theyre going to add something to the you monitor it and give you more information, transparency of how much space you have. Thats why i think people were more upset is the lack of transparency, that they werent telling you they were doing this to your product. You mentioned an apology. How big of a deal is this . We first heard of a little apology and now a big apology. Thats true. Over the years theyve done these big apologies. One was antenna gate that happened in 2010 where they said your call wont go through if youre holding the phone wrong and then they came out with a bumper. Look alt what happened last year with samsung when they had problems with their own batteries. They issued a big apology and shared a lot of information with people and people are still buying galaxy and note phones. That. The reason they did it is so you would upgrade to a newer model of iphone. Theyve deny thad. What do you think . I think they were doing the opposite, they didnt want you to feel like the batteries would run out quicker. They ended up doing the on sichlt i had an iphone 6 plus that was getting pokey. I upgraded to a x when i gave it to a friend. They said, oh, man, youve got to get a new phone. Its rare you get an apology from apple. They explained that the batteries dont last forever. Its true. Its the slug itch finance that gets us ordering new things. Thank you. A family blames an airline for a great grandmothers horrific fall down the escalator.
