Is everyone taking crazy pills?
I don't know about everyone else, but given the choice between my phone performing a task more slowly and my phone turning off, it's a pretty easy sell for the former.
The French lawsuit claiming the devices were slowed down for 'planned obsolescence' and to 'sell more phones' is laughable. Again, I don't know about anyone else, but a surefire way to get me to buy a new phone is to have it randomly restart when I'm using it.
People really aren't using their heads here.
