Is the planned obsolescence on Apple devices, is it real?

We remember the case of the “battery” of the iPhone 6S reflection on the term “planned obsolescence” in Apple products

This is one of the strongest cases that Apple has had in its history. THE year 2016 When several IPhone users have paid attention to a very unusual activity of his devices. They went out for no reason and unexpectedly. Those of Cupertino have launched an important update Although they did it incorrectly, the solution was to slow them down, although Apple in no way indicated that it was part of this solution. Collective requests arrived and until last year, we talked about the problem because Canada demanded the repair of user damage. Is the phenomenon of obsolescence programmed in Apple Rés products?

Limiting iPhone performance was the solution? Apple must have said it and avoid accusations

The problem of unexpected breakdowns was because The batteries did not support a pinch of minimum current to continue to operate. Avoiding them was not a solution to the problem, at least not in the short term. Do not have intensive use of the device with many resources should have no drop in power. It has been clear to us over the years. The iPhone fleas are more powerful today than in this 2016 and the problem has not happened. What has changed?

Bad battery could come out by have a very cold temperature, a Load too low or less that it no longer keeps The load to be very old. The problem was that the affected iPhone was relatively new. Apple managed to manage the situation in a better way to offer a replacement with a figure of $ 29. The reality is that there was no magic solution, if Apple had been found, it would not be classified as a business acting in favor of planned obsolescence.

Apple apologized and immediately denied this obsolescence although it is too late. The intention to slow it down was not due to a sales strategy, they did not want to continue selling more new iPhone or as some conspiracy theories say.

Planned obsolescence is a term that looks like a double edition sword

How long have you spent since you bought your latest iPhone? How many of them have you had throughout your life so far? You can apply an example to other Apple products, a Mac, an iPad, an Apple Watch or even products from other brands Have home. Even the devices that are at home, a refrigerator, a stove, etc. Have you ever had a problem? Maybe you heard friends or family to spoil because some purchases went wrong on a recent product. The products are created in order to satisfy a need and They are not designed to last exactly a number of years. Of course, there is the concept of “useful life”, but it is a simple estimate.

In the case of Apple products, Technology has not yet authorized to have endless batteries or that they have no wear. They were able to improve as much as possible and it is a great advantage. There is a difference between making an iPhone unusable or which is already close to stop working because that is a while With them. How long is it valid to declare that a product is already obsolete? Apple in particular has a classification for these products, 7 years must pass, to be called obsolete, because they are officially sold. Cupertino is one of the brands that offers the largest support in software and hardware. During these 7 years, you have updates and the device promises to work optimally.

No mobile is exempt from battery problemsJust remember what happened with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. You must remember that Bad Fortune is also reaching everyone. Time will judge each of the companies for their actions. Apple has paid the error made and has been far from controversial for some time. It is the most criticized by other facts, at least one who “no longer innovates” and that which “design remains the same” And “It's very dear” is already balanced because the Samsung Galaxy S of recent years are in competition for these same big titles.

There is only Continue to inform the movements that companies make as Apple and make the best investment decision. If you are not convinced that it is the best, the range of options is very large. If Apple has convinced you to be for years, do you think that the products are already designed to stop working Precisely to buy the next iPhone on the list?
