Next we’re going to get a subscription fee to unlock the full potential of our phone batteries. But if we don’t pay, at least we’ll have 50% of the battery 🤮
Look, just go buy a different phone if you don’t like it. Doing it this way subsidizes the price for those that don’t need the extra battery size. Plus studies have shown it’s actually good for the battery!
Every company is doing it. Old batteries throttle so they don’t just cut out on you. I wish people would actually learn about how this stuff works before APPLE BADing, but hey. I can’t expect that much from the internet.
The fact they can legally charge a subscription for a fitted feature that does not pose any continuous cost for the company is insane

Copium.
But since it’s not, don’t buy anything from those companies.

I don’t disagree with you. But until we can get some sort of legislation, our only option is to not give those companies any money.
Flip it to instead focus on them forcing limited lifespans for the cars by doing this and then dropping support.
It’s called “Rent-Seeking Behavior” and it has infected essentially every single fucking millimeter of the market.
You’ll own nothing and you’ll fucking like it.
Rent-seeking.
