Latest iPhone update is causing battery problems

SHOCK AND HORROR!!!!!!! It happens with Android too, although MyBB seems to enjoy Android and not Apple (hence only reporting on iOS draining batteries)

The difference between android and apple is with android it is a bug and would be fixed, with apple they either do it intentionally or throttle older phones and use the excuse of saving battery life.

So one phone brand having issues, equals the entire android world being guilty, that makes it okay after a long list of fkups by apple and getting sued due to intentional dubious practices. Well okay then....

No concern my friend, more of a laugh,

I also note though that you have owned every iPhone since the 3, so you are in fact a Sheeple? Apple changes the background on a new phone and you're in the line to test out their latest innovation?

Don't throw k@k at the people who hang on to their phones when you're the other end of the spectrum here

I've also owned a Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4, S5, S7edge, Sony Z3, Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and probably more I can't remember. I currently have a Sony ZX, Nokia 2.3 and a Samsung S2 Tab.

You see, unlike little judgmental sheep like yourself who seem to think they have the inside track on tech, I base my choices on my own experiences. In this case, I prefer to use Apple for the last couple of years after much chopping and changing for a variety of reasons which could ultimately be labelled as "my choice".

So where does this place me on your silly little spectrum?

Edit: Samsung A51 also. My eldest has it now. Nice phone
 
Apples, forever had battery problems, and now screen issues. Folks at work with iPhones are on the charger twice before we go home, mine hoes on the charger 05:00 each day, and nary an issue. The iPhones also do not do anything better than any Androud phone, and cost 3 times more. Really not worth the crap one goes thru with them.

The irony is that a 6 year android old phone would still work, little worse for wear, but would have still worked and do as intended. Assumption that a android phone with 1gig ram is useless is based on what exact considering you don't use android?

It isn't like android simply decided okay you have a 6 year old phone, no more apps for you. It actually takes several years before the app store decided look buddy your phone is too old. Currently there is still support for android 4.4 kitkat on the app store and most apps still support kitkat, even thought kikat only started being phased out out this year by major app developers. That is pretty great support considering kitkat was released 7 years ago.

Who says I don't use Android? See my other post. My decisions are based on my experience.

How much money do you have that you think a 6 year old phone breaking is fine and acceptable?

I hold onto a phone for a year max. Then part ex it to the next one and offset a lot of the price. You want to buy old tech, don't be surprised if you find yourself struggling to run basic apps. And if it is faulty, good luck getting it fixed.

OK, so getting personal is a clear sign of immaturity. I won't...let's go through what I have owned:

* Countless Nokias (E51, E71, that brick that never died even after dropping it)
* BlackBerry Bold 9900 (bloody keyboard died 1 month before I upgraded)
* Sony Xperia Z1 (awesome phone, but the Z5 contract was too expensive even for my company cell phone contract that I had so I switched too...)
* iPhone 6, iPhone SE (then back to the 6 as I had issues typing on the smaller screen which has now gone to my wife), and then onto the Xr.

I don't swop phones often. I don't need too. My company pays for my cell contract and I only spend R600 per month and got a decent phone. I like the Apple ecosystem as it's the same across all my devices. I generally get one phone back, and when I upgrade I keep it to myself. No need to get the latest phone every year because, hell, the contract my company pays for over 24 months doesn't allow it.

At the end of the day you try have an adult debate with some obscure anonymous person (like you) and it devolves from one side (like yours) into some personal slews. Each to their own...carry on.

old phones, still being sold, and still quite a community supporting them even on ancient hardware,
for instance the S5 , one can still get Roms for it, still being sold on takealot, and still plenty out there on the market.

not like apple, that stop support, find a dustbin and throw it away.
look at the old Iphones 3,4, 5, go and try fixing them today.

I've never had battery issues, screen issues, charge only over night and get though a day easily, it does lots of things better than an Android because it syncs across my devices. Oh, and my phone also cost half the price of a flagship Samsung.

So what now?

Well yeah because the Pixel 2 was never sold in SA...

But I am proving a point though. It's software. It's going to happen. Maybe it happens on my cell the next time I update, maybe not. But my Sony Xperia Z1 was bricked once before due to an Android update so I have had it happen before. Luckily I had backed it all up, but had to default the phone which took hours to do. I did it and moved on.
What I am saying is that it happens.

oh wait, me with a "ancient" android phone still chugging along on Android 11,

Unless you rooted your phone and loaded a custom rom, your android phone can't be considered old or ancient because we know how badly fragmented the android os distribution is such that older phones do not get full rom version updates. Which phone model are you using?

It was the one brand I picked up on. Could've used more, but it's simply an example. I don't have an issue with Android. Hell, I had a Sony Xperia Z1 I still have and it was an awesome phone. I never understood why they never sold as many as Samsung as I rated it higher than the equivalent Sx at that stage.

This is seriously insulting. Where is your adult debate?

You are the one doing the judging based on my preference for using an iPhone? I assumed nothing about you. Treat me like a dick, I'll respond in kind.
