@KnightClawk As a former Apple Repair Tech, I have probably replaced over 1000s of displays because people kept sticking thick camera covers on them. It cracks the screen when you close the lid.
The camera doesn’t turn on unless you allow it to come on or have given an app permission to.
It’s mind-boggling that bullshit like this gets millions of views and thousands of likes.
She either was not an engineer at Apple, or she’s just chasing clout.
Apple isn’t installing any “malware” on your phone to get you to upgrade.
In fact, the batterygate scandal mentioned in the post is also being blown out of proportion.
Apple was slowing older iPhones with very aged batteries to prevent unexpected shutdowns. The issue was not the throttling, the issue was not telling the user about it.
They still throttle your iPhone, but now they’re transparent about it through the battery health page. And it’s not an issue at all.
@WallStreetApes Lastly, this woman is clearly not a software engineer as she is making a false claim about malware being installed on older phones. This is a blatant lie and she obviously doesn’t know what the term malware even means.
@WallStreetApes Apple did not “install malware” on older iPhones to force upgrades. In 2017, Apple disclosed that some iOS updates reduced peak CPU performance on devices with degraded batteries to prevent unexpected shutdowns. (1/3)
@WallStreetApes Apple publicly acknowledged this, apologized for not being transparent, reduced battery replacement prices, and added Battery Health controls so users could disable performance management. Courts criticized Apple’s disclosure practices — not the existence of “malware.”
@031Jae@Ghosxtt@KattarsKannon@DailyLoud Ten seconds of actual research on the will tell you that the door was closed. The actual victim has ring footage showing her pushing the door open.
