@samhenrigold@hachyderm.io A lot of stuff Apple gets bad rap for us like that. Remember that update that enabled more aggressive CPU throttling on old phones? A lot of people were like: "Apple is slowing down old phones to force you into biting new ones!!! 😱",— but no, it's not that, I have a phone that never got such an update, it has an old battery that can't hold the voltage steadily and when you start doing CPU-intense things, the phone may just shut off randomly — is that any better than being throttled? Don't think so! And this Antennagate always seemed a nothingburger to me, thanks for detailed explanation! Apple does a lot of bad things — but some of them are hardly as bad as people think of them and are just hard to fix PR disasters.
