2 year lifecycle and a 3 year payment plan.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

My note 9 lasted a good 8 years... But yeah. Now when apps update, "your device is no longer supported" Wow okay fuck you too thanks a lot guys -.-

This is an android only issue FWIW

The comment below me saying iPhones do this is referencing 10 year old information.

iPhone underclocks older phonea against the will of the users too last I heard

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

iPhones have a setting where as the battery ages they can throttle the cpu, you can disable this setting.

It did it briefly against users will on batteries that were at a certain age / wear threshold, then Apple started offering decreased battery replacement costs and added a toggle for this feature that the user could control. It’s been there since iOS 11 back in 2018.

Ye, they did that after they were caught and fined for secretly underclocking phones lawl

Meanwhile Google added mandatory battery management back into the Pixel 10 because fuck you I guess?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

So don't buy a Pixel

[–] optissima@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago

Good to know they added that and really highlights when I last really interacted with one

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

This is literally a GOOD THING. They made it so their phones would reduce their boost clocks slightly if the battery is degraded to the point where the battery can no longer support those clocks in order to prevent unexpected power offs/faults from the processor trying to pull more energy than the battery can output. The underclock is not noticeable in day to day usage and prevents instability due to a worn out battery AND it automatically reverts to the factory clock speed if the battery is replaced and therefore the underclock is no longer needed!

Would you rather your several year old phone be slightly imperceptibly slower at times or crash randomly because that 50Mhz of boost clock was so critical to you?

[–] optissima@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I'd rather people have direct control of their phones. Glad to hear it's an option now.

Nah. You.

Indeed

ONCE

They did it ONCE

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes.

On the other hand, I have to basically hack an iPad 5 to use essentially any app on it that's relevant and/ or not a subscription service.

Meanwhile I can put PostmarketOS on devices over a decade old on the android side.

So while they support longer, once no longer supported, essentially e-waste even though they have pretty good hardware, just cuz.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 0 points 6 hours ago

Do the same to the iPad. Jailbreak it. You’re comparing an apple to an orange in your scenario.

The EU has already noticed. Manufacturers have to provide software updates for five years, for all new devices since June.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

My understanding of the message in the OP is that phone companies are making phones suck after 2 years using updates that make the phone slower, etc.

.... Y'know, like Apple did a few years back.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world -4 points 6 days ago (3 children)

And meanwhile Apple has been providing 6+ years of FULL updates for over a decade

But they’re the bad guys?

[–] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Not the point, but they're the bad guys for other reasons. Walled garden, bad repairability etc. Their update policy is really solid, though.

[–] KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes, that's why they make apps unavailable for older devices with no way to install them besides some iTunes hack that I'm not sure works anymore.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How old devices are you trying to use?

And is it Apple or the app developer who hasn’t updated their app in a decade?

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 2 points 5 days ago

Apple are the ones who refuse to allow developers to deploy apps that run on older devices while also not allowing users to download previous versions of an app.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

yes

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 65 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i thought it was more about making the older models shittier with updates. like apple limiting battery capacity, samsung slowing down and removing features, etc. i had s22u and it had tons of customization, you could put a calendar or a gif in the AOD but suddenly they removed it all, you could only change the color of the clock.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is it possible / practical to go to a previous version of Always On Display?

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

since it's a part of the samsung ui and there's no way to roll back, no
