Apple.. You Suck !!!
(This story is over four years ago 2017)
MY IPHONE JOURNEY… The poisoned apple is as old as Adam and Eve. My particular Apple product is also poisoned. My iPhone could have done me in, it could also have been fatal, what if it freezes and I am in a life-threatening situation, well?
I remember when my phone started to lose its charge it seemed to happen overnight. Well, it turns out it did happen overnight. I downloaded an update to my phone, I am always the last hold-out to do this btw. I flew south the next day or was it north, it involved a flight I know, because I blamed the change in location for my phone woes.
Not being a techno-savvy person and a senior to boot, it was frustrating. My daughter and grandkids usually help me out, but this one was puzzling. How could my phone be working perfectly well one day and the next I had to charge it all the time? Making sure my phone was charged became my priority.
Like most, I have gotten rid of my landline and only have a cell phone. You might say that my cell phone is my lifeline.. literally! That Apple secretly and flagrantly decided to slow down the iPhone 6, which I owned btw, was not only dishonest, intentional but also criminal AND THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT! WOW!
My dilemmas were many, did I overcharge it, maybe I needed to leave it plugged in longer, am I taxing it too much by checking my mail and Facebook? Geez, what if I lose all my battery power, how close am I to a charger? I travel a lot and was relieved to see that I can now charge my phone on planes. Needless to say, it was very stressful.
In the end, it had to go, because the battery wouldn’t hold a charge, but the jokes on me. And no, it wasn’t funny I went to an iPhone 6 S because I didn’t really want a different phone. This phone started acting up five months after I got it, starting to freeze up and kicking me off sites I wanted to look at. Not being in my home country to have my carrier ‘fix it’ I googled it. Seems my iPhone 6 S has something called ‘touch disease’ this is another Apple mystery only pertaining to this model apparently, go ahead all you iPhone sixers google it. Sign me up for a class action because I’m mad as hell!
APPLE IPHONE UPDATE
A little update to this tale which only happened last Xmas btw. An Apple store wiped my new iPhone clean and I also needed to download my contacts and such to a memory stick, they didn’t even bat an eye that my phone was freezing all the time. What does that tell you? I lost 3/4 of my contacts which I hope are still on that stick.
But the best part was yet to come, this phone is now freezing as well. To say this is just too much is an understatement my iPhone is a POS (a piece of shit)! DO NOT BUY AND IPHONE ever, but don’t take my word for it. Please do yourself a favor and google which are the best phones to buy. You may get a surprise, well I googled it and it is no surprise to me, do your homework. Everyone pays through the nose for an iPhone, it is not free trust me.
I hope this rant of mine saves some of you from making my mistakes, my next phone will be thoroughly researched. IT WILL NOT BE AN IPHONE! Please do not reward a company that deliberately slowed down its own phones within an update to said phones. They did apologize publicly after we all went out and bought new ones. This is so not right and criminal even, how did they even get away with it?
And besides, iPhones are NOT rated the best on the market and we need to get over this iPhone bullshit.
My opinion only..
