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.

If there was even a chance a boycott would be feasible, they wouldn't be doing what they're doing. The only way to force change is to force it. Voting with your wallet is bullshit and won't work against an oligopoly.

Customers have voted with their wallets and it has worked, but I do agree that it should also be legislated.

One company caving about one thing doesn't cancel out the overall trend of enshittification and subscription bullshit. Things are getting worse on the whole because voting with our wallets just doesn't work well enough to beat back all the corporations trying to take advantage of us.
