Daring Fireball Apple Addresses Why Some iPhones With Older Batteries

I always found the argument that Apple purposely slows down phones ridiculous, turns out they are, to some degree, but it’s to improve device longevity. As Gruber puts it: If older iPhones suffer upon being updated to iOS 7 — getting slower, or worse battery life, or losing Wi-Fi — to such a degree that the users conclude they now need to buy a new phone, would not the most likely and logical result be that it would inspire many of them to switch to Android (or Windows Phone, or anything) rather than to buy another iPhone?

Spent The Evening Trying To Get The 60 10 Gb

Fido’s systems are completely hosed right now. Their website, phone lines, and apparently even their internal systems are slow or offline completely.

RT @MobileSyrup: Fido also extends its $60/10GB offer by one day for existing customers https://mobilesyrup.com/2017/12/18/support-lines-go-quiet-due-to-massive-response-to-6010gb-promotions-from-canadian-carriers/
