蘋果被揭發刻意將舊型號電話運作降速拖慢,引起軒然大波,最終要發出道歉聲明,更承諾提供折扣降低更換電池費用。不過事情不會這樣平息,在美國已有個人和團體訴諸法庭要求蘋果作出賠償。
其他電話廠商會不會這樣拖慢電話運作呢?
HTC 表示他們不會做降速拖慢電話運作這種事情
designing phones to slow down their processor as their battery ages “is not something we do.”
Motorola 亦表示不會因舊電池而將 CPU 效能降速
We do not throttle CPU performance based on older batteries.
LG 亦明確表示
“Never have, never will! We care what our customers think.”
Samsung 亦表示不會透過軟件更新,將 CPU 效能減慢。
