What? Most phones have 50% more battery capacity than an iPhone. Apple just doesn't want to pay patent royalties for Quick Charge.
Hey moron, we all have been talking about batteries maximum charge degrading with usage - have you not noticed? Are you a truly fucking imbecile? Do us all a favour, go for a quickcharge on a high voltage line.
"I guess what this means is if you want your phone to still last a solid day in a year or two, better not buy Motorola!"
With Turbo Charging, who cares? I can top up in minutes, not hours.
That's mostly because your battery has a much reduced capacity.
There already is a notification in iOS (and macOS) about degraded battery life. They just maybe need to change the thresholds on when that is displayed a bit...
If they did, the same people complaining now would whine that Apple forced people to replace a still working battery.
Why would it be difficult? More than 150 states are not harmonized with EU and they seem to do fine.
That is because it mostly only matters when you are dealing with someone close.

When I deal with Germany or the UK it is a different matter. Then I known that if I put the order in before 16pm on their time they will have it packed the same day so I can get it delivered to me the next day.
You know what's odd about that story? Germany and the UK are one hour apart.
There's a little wheel-reinvention in Launchpad. If we set aside its iOS-based design and interaction, it's strikingly similar to Apple's At Ease environment in System 7, except that it isn't a replacement for the Finder like At Ease was. It's more of an add-on, like the System 7.5 Launcher was, augmenting the Dock and Finder.
I'll give you the Ceramic Apple Watch - if you admit it's not just an accessory. As for the AirPort products - even if you see them as major products instead of accessories, they have seen their last update 4.5 years ago (that's 50% longer than the last update of the Mac Mini everybody complains about) and are rumored to be phased out completely soon.
And the iPhone X is Silver (or "Space Gray"), Period.
Tech companies need a strong leader who is detail obsessed. E.g. consider Microsoft back in the Bill Gates days
Back when Billy Boy missed the boat on big things like the Internet? Yeah, keep telling micro managers that they are the ideal CEO, if only they could stop fiddling with the city settings in Civilization.
The Tea Party, meanwhile, has taken over the Republican Party and is now running the country.
Lesson learned: Proper focus makes a difference.
Yeah, and they even elected a president with a strong Anti Wall Street rhetoric. Who put more Wall Street men into his cabinet than any before. And will now deregulate the banks so they again screw over the world. All Hail Trump!
In Europe it's called the Opel Ampera-e. Same car.
Yet, this is a country that sells Mercedes Maybachs for how much?
So you are jealous that Americans can only make overpriced E-cars, not luxury cars? An E-Maybach also wouldn't qualify for the E-vehicle subsidy - and, yes, Mercedes-Benz have presented a study of an E-Maybach.
People in the Bronx, regardless of race and income, have an Apple Store (or rather more like a dozen) in far closer proximity than > 99% of the US population.

Only because Apple made the procedure hard in the first place.
Replacement batteries for other phones are often $5, and easy enough to replace that there's no chance to damage the phone.
And there still is an extremely high chance that the cheap Chinese knock-off you bought will blow up sooner rather than later. https://www.howtogeek.com/172680/danger-why-you-shouldnt-buy-cheap-third-party-batteries-for-laptops-or-smartphones/. But hey, you get what you deserve.
if anything I only see my battery get stronger over time!
that is the sort of dumb shit I would expect an apple fanboy to say.
But unsurprisingly to everyone else, a Fandroid said it.

There was never an iOS 1.0.
And even if you'd call iPhone-Software 1.x that, that didn't have the App Store yet.

I'm of the opposite opinion. Keep standard time year round. Leave the meridian at noon. Otherwise AM and PM have no meaning.
You are aware that almost nowhere the actual meridian is at 12:00? Abolish time zones altogether!
Slow down old phones, customers see how much faster the new ones are....profit!
Customers replace battery, old phones again as fast as when new, less profit.
And Launchpad that came long before - looks just like the iOS home screen.

iPhone X ? Airport ? Ceramic Apple Watch?

Personally I'm 'in line' to dump my Apple phone in just a week or so.
So you ordered a Samsung Explodaphone from Santa?

Which Apple products are white? Only the accessories.

'fake news' was spun into life to detract from the pedogate/pizzagate stuff.

Yes, just like a key or even a finger print.
Yeah, but remember kids, nobody can film you entering your passcode!

The vast majority of them are budget cars too.
Now we see the problem.
Yeah, the problem is that the Tesla is too fucking expensive to be subsidized for mass-rollout of EVs. Even compared to cars from BMW and Mercedes.

Please note, I am NOT mentioning skin color/race
Is that the new "I'm not a racist, but ..."?
That's an option, it can be turned off for convenience and you can bet it will be on a lot of phones.
So now at least you admit that your victims have to turn off options for your crazy schemes to work. Looooonie.
