The fact they can legally charge a subscription for a fitted feature that does not pose any continuous cost for the company is insane
It should be forbidden by law.
Next we're going to get a subscription fee to unlock the full potential of our phone batteries. But if we don't pay, at least we'll have 50% of the battery 🤮
Look, just go buy a different phone if you don't like it. Doing it this way subsidizes the price for those that don't need the extra battery size. Plus studies have shown it's actually good for the battery!
/s in case that wasn't obvious
Apple is already doing it
Every company is doing it. Old batteries throttle so they don’t just cut out on you. I wish people would actually learn about how this stuff works before APPLE BADing, but hey. I can’t expect that much from the internet.
Copium.
But since it's not, don't buy anything from those companies.
Customers have voted with their wallets and it has worked, but I do agree that it should also be legislated.
I don't disagree with you. But until we can get some sort of legislation, our only option is to not give those companies any money.
