My iPhone 6 Plus (with its ORIGINAL, nearly 4 year old battery), still makes it nearly a week with moderate use, and would sit at idle for at least a week. So I'm not sure where you're getting your lies from; but they are just that. Lies.
A well know liar (you) tells others, that they are liars. That's precious.
I just purchased a Thinkpad in favor of a mac laptop (I've been using the Apple brand exclusively for about a decade) because of their shitty keyboards, and I will be replacing my iPhone 7 plus with something non-Apple unless their new phones have much better battery life. I don't know what they are thinking, but a phone that lasts a solid day is more important than slightly faster graphics performance for the game you can play for an hour before your phone is dead.
You're considering switching to Android for INCREASED battery life?!?
Battery life? My $300 Android runs for a week with modest usage. Most iPhones last 36 hours even when idling. Price? If you don't care about the camera you can get a phone half the price with 95% feature parity. If you do, 75-80% of the iPhone price. New features? Android had split screen since forever.
This year seems to be no different from last year, or the year before that. Nothing to be envious about, really.

iOS supports Split Screen on iPads just fine; but Apple (wisely) doesn't enable that for iPhones; because it is absolutely useless in a practical sense to split a screen that is only about 4.5 X 3 inches.
That isn't true at all. There are many kinds of comedy, sometimes you're laughing at somebody, but other times you're laughing at an incongruity, or because you're unexpectedly referencing something you share with the author, or in some cases pure insanity.
To think you can only laugh if you're laughing at someone is totally crazy.
There are actually NOT "Many kinds of comedy". In fact, IIRC, there are really only about FIVE fundamental "jokes".
You see there is a difference also between laughing AT geek, and laughing WITH geek. TBBT the the sort of "AT" point at geek like ape and laugh. Look at their studio antics ! Other shows present funny geek situation but laugh WITH geek on those situation
Normally, I wouldn't point out someone's ethnicity; but it is obvious from your many grammatical errors that English is not your first language. And specifically, your complete inability to properly pluralize tags you affirmatively as of Asian descent.
I only point this out because it is a well-known fact that humor is VERY often culturally-limited, and for example, what is a real knee-slapper in China would draw nothing but blank stares in the U.K, etc.
So, perhaps the real reason you find TBBT "really poor in joke [sic]" is not so much the fault of the writing, acting or directing, but instead your obvious difference in cultural references.
The Apple thing is, fucking up the charge control logic in the device so that batteries die sooner than they should, or even explode as we have seen on multiple occasions. If you are ok with increasing the risk of burning down your house or injuring yourself, Apple is your company. Instead of fixing their defective products we just see assholes like you denying it.
No usable OS will ever be able to protect a user from installing an application they think is legit. Well, I guess really strict ACLs or every app getting its own VM/sandbox might.
Gatekeeper defaults to only allow Apps from the Mac App Store. That's about as safe as you can get with Trojans.
Anyone know how (or if) this malware makes it past the Gatekeeper? (i.e. does it have a valid package and application signature, or does it rely on the user to opt-out of Gatekeeper's validity check, or does it have some other trick it uses?)
It "gets by" Gatekeeper by tricking the User into letting it run.
I am SURE Gatekeeper WARNED about it; but in the end, the USER made the decision.
hackintosh and apple can use this to get laws to ban them that just ends making end users drop mac or be stuck with apples crap that over heats all the time.
NO OS can be made immune to TROJANS.
Period.
OS X/macOS: Almost 20 years and STILL no real viruses.
Oh clever little man, you posted a link that says your Apple product will just wear out if you leave it plugged in, not explode. But then, there are these exploding Apple products, which is it? Do they suck because the battery wears out when plugged in, or do they suck because they explode if left plugged in? Or both?
It would seem that A) from the news reports and B) Apple's own blogs that the answer is "both". Not like we had to ask.
Now scurry away and fix your products.
No. Apple's statement is that you might experience reduced battery life if you leave your product plugged-in. That's because Apple's guidelines for best-practices include a suggestion that you do at least a monthly deep-cycle discharge and recharge. That isn't Apple's suggestion; it's the battery industry's.
That's because LiOn/LiPo batteries, no matter who's device they are in, while not experiencing much "memory effect" (look it up), DO experience SOME "memory effect". This, plus the fact that the internal controller chips inside these batteries become slightly miscalibrated over time of many shallow discharges, and a deep-cycle keeps them calibrated. This is most certainly NOT an "Apple Thing:
Apple is not an innovator. They are a technology parasite. They won't bring manufacturing back to America, because it would increase manufacturing costs by $50 per unit. On phones that cost $100 to manufacture..... and are sold for $700-$1000.
But hey, they revolutionized the industry with the gen 1 IPOD, remember? Remember how it was vastly inferior to the Creative Nomad, at twice the price? Smaller HDD, no video play, tiny B&W screen, etc.....? Apple's contribution to tech has been rounded corners (they used a time machine to retroactively invent non-sharp corners) and white plastic.
Prove it. ALL of it.
And the Nomad comparison is so ridiculous, it is even a well-known/. meme...
If one in a million batteries catches fire per year that seems like a very rare, maybe acceptable risk. - compared to the risk of _being_ killed by a firearm in the US of about 30 in a million persons per year*1 Apple sold > 200'000'000 iPhones in the last 4 quarters.(*2) So that would mean 200 exploding new iPhones per year. The press would be all over it, so the real number and thus the risk must be waaaay lower.
Same goes for Samsung and the rest, of course. So move along, nothing to see here. But yes, it's funny that it happened in an Apple Store:)
When fully charged, the charge current must be cut off.
Which is handled by the charge controller on most devices with lithium battery chemistries...
Please keep blame where it needs to reside.
You mean with the company that used a charge controller that fails to cut off charging current properly when the battery is full? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's where the blame was placed to begin with.
Most LiPo charger ICs can be set up to turn OFF once you reach full charge, and turn ON again when you drop below a set level. It your charger IC is set to always trickle charge - you're doing it wrong.
And Apple's charging circuits do exactly what you suggest:
What utter bullshit. It is the fault of Apple's engineering, that can't safely trickle charge a li-ion battery. I have lots of devices permanently sitting on chargers, everybody does. But don't do that with Apple products unless your fire insurance is all paid up. According to you.
but the knowledge of how to keep a battery stored really matters and isn't very common knowledge. Any device with a lithium-ion battery of any kind should not be left on the charger for extended periods, like days or more. If you plan on not using the device, unplug and turn it off. The protection chip on the battery will prevent overcharging but it's a precarious situation that might cause overheating, swelling and explosions potentially the longer it's left charging.
Slashdot Mirror
Ya but you are an apple shill and a known LIAR. So bullshit.
Sorry, no. Even if I use my phone fairly heavily, I still get at least 3-4 days on it.
And after nearly 4 years, the battery still shows 93% capacity.
Heck, the battery in my ancient iPad 2 still shows 89% capacity, and I use the HELL out of it!

I have that phone, and after 2 years the battery doesn't even last 8 hours. You are a fucking liar as usual.
Yeah, like I believe an Anonymous COWARD.
Log in and put your karma where your lyin' mouth is.
Nice try Tim. We know who you really are.
Really? Who am I?
When what we really want is an upgrade to the SE. Small, inexpensive, to handle the basics of smartphone life, and that's it.
No, that's what YOU want.
There's a difference.

You could say the same thing about Futurama. The difference is Futurama is funny, whereas Big Bang Theory has never made me laugh.
I love Futurama as much as the next geek; but it gets repetitious, too.

Jus' sayin'...
Until some software someone wants to use isn't signed, yet is widely known to work great. The bit gets flipped and forgotten. Happens on all of them.
Apple took care of that little problem. The setting automatically reverts back to the safest setting after a fairly short period (30 days, IIRC).
Fairly reasonable compromise between security and convenience.
And regardless of the setting, it still warns you on any downloaded software, making you have to affirmatively allow the installation.
The Apple thing is, fucking up the charge control logic in the device so that batteries die sooner than they should, or even explode as we have seen on multiple occasions. If you are ok with increasing the risk of burning down your house or injuring yourself, Apple is your company. Instead of fixing their defective products we just see assholes like you denying it.
Prove it.
That was just one of many lies apple tells.
They also dont throttle their phones. Well they do but its for your own good.
Quit LYING yourself!

Now go away.
DESPITE the fact that TFS specifically mentioned that the battery was PUNCTURED
Punctured by the explosion you lying Apple sack of shit. Said it before, you are a great ambassador for thug gang Apple.
I can't find any news report that confirms your story.

This was a PUNCTURED battery. It's right there in TFS.
How did the battery become punctured?
It was in the process of being replaced, and someone punctured it.
If one in a million batteries catches fire per year that seems like a very rare, maybe acceptable risk.
