Apple profits vs Qualcomm profits (was Arlen is an idiot Explore the new system architectire of Apple Silicon Macs

It always is when presented by an accuser to its supporters. However the FTC has some very good and honest judges. so you agree the ftc had solid reasons for their filing. progress. Twister Exactly! not at all. unlike both of you, i look into the details of the various lawsuits rather than just read the headlines and editorials, and not just for apple either. i also stick to the topic rather than hurl insults. Ask him - for example - about the settlement Apple made with the French DGCCRF (about Apple's intentional, but undocumented, slowing down of iPhones, especially those with aging batteries) [1]. it was documented in the release notes, although the reality is that very few people read them. you also have the facts wrong. apple did not slow down iphones. what they did was clip *only* peak demands, and only when an aging battery could no longer handle those peak loads. at all other times, performance was normal. the alternative is sudden shutdowns because aging batteries can't supply sufficient power for those peak demands, which is much worse. not only does that interrupt whatever the user was doing, but it's likely to result in data loss and there is also a small (but not zero) potential for hardware damage. other phones which chose not to properly manage aging batteries and power demands ended up with a lot of sudden shutdowns and boot loops because the sudden shutdown occurs during the boot process. it also meant also losing a lawsuit with a much bigger payout per user, as much as $425 cash or a $700 credit towards a new phone. yet for some reason, nobody mentions that. tl;dr - damned if you do and damned if you don't. https://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...ave-developed- a-battery-early-shutoff-problem-and-its-becoming-a-safety-issue/ A number of Nexus 6P owners have reported an alarming battery problem with their phones as of Android 7.0 being released for the handset, which causes the phone to power down when the battery gauge still shows anywhere from 10 to 60% battery remaining. .... ...There are some reports that 6P owners with the issue who have their batteries replaced see the problem largely alleviated, again pointing to what seems fundamentally a hardware failure that has been made worse by software. .... Interestingly, it seems the problem is most common in very cold climates. These are where we see reports of phones dying at upwards of 60% battery remaining indicated, which is obviously completely ridiculous. As some on the various threads point out, this could easily be a major safety issue. https://www.classlawgroup.com/nexus-6p-bootloop/ Girard Gibbs, now Gibbs Law Group and Girard Sharp, filed a Nexus 6P class action lawsuit alleging that Nexus 6P smartphones suffer from a defect that manifests in two ways: (1) an endless bootloop cycle that makes the phone inoperable; and (2) accelerated battery drain that causes premature shut down. https://www.androidcentral.com/settl...-lawsuit-are-f inally-arriving It all started nearly a year after the Nexus 6P was first released, when users began having widespread issues with the smartphone. Many found themselves with a mysterious battery drain that would cause the phone to shutdown unexpectedly. While others, such as myself, woke up one day to the phone stuck in a bootloop turning it into a worthless brick. It didn't take long for the cases to start piling up, and eventually, it lead to a class-action lawsuit against Google and Huawei. After hashing it out in the courts for a couple of years, the two companies finally agreed to pay a settlement of $9.75 million in 2019. As part of the settlement, claimants would be sorted into different tiers with the maximum payout being up to $400. https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/0...oop-lawsuit-me mbers-get-425-cash-700-lg-phone-rebate/ LG is offering class members plaintiffs*either $425 as a cash settlement or a $700 rebate toward the purchase of a new LG phone. That's pretty generous, and it's clear that's going to help offset some of the anger LG's created with this whole incident. I would guess most people are going to take the cash offer - that's a*lot more than even a brand-new, working Nexus 5X - one of the most common devices affected - would go for on the open market. Sure, you could put that $700 rebate toward a V30 and see how much you'd get for that new in the box, but really, that's a lot of hassle. |

Would you acknowledge it if I told you where to find it? why don't you do that, rather than play silly games. Again. I have already told you. All this protesting does is show that you are either too biggoted to to read it or too ignorant to understand it. you haven't told anyone anything. you are playing silly games, pretending to know something others do not. you're not fooling anyone. You seem to be doing a prestty good job of fooling yourself. keep in mind that pointing to it does not validate your claim that apple needs or even wants rambus. Which has nothing to do with whether or not Apple could benefit financially from using the particular technology. apple is doing just fine financially. And being the philanthropists that they are, they do not want to do any better. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
