[1137.74 --> 1140.44] Apparently, people are linking the body pillow in Discord. |
[1141.52 --> 1146.20] But, like, because I'm assuming our bot blocks out links. |
[1146.70 --> 1147.90] Oh, yeah, that makes sense. |
[1148.00 --> 1149.00] But then I'm not signed in. |
[1149.00 --> 1150.52] Well, we can cross that bridge when we get to it. |
[1150.60 --> 1150.78] Yeah. |
[1151.58 --> 1152.20] All right. |
[1152.32 --> 1153.36] What else do we got here? |
[1154.04 --> 1154.88] Oh, boy. |
[1155.02 --> 1155.78] This again. |
[1156.86 --> 1161.68] Apple slows down last year's iPhones with iOS 12.1. |
[1162.86 --> 1169.98] I mean, there was a whole thing where iOS 12 was actually giving people with older phones significantly better performance. |
[1169.98 --> 1173.62] Like, a lot of people were giving Apple really positive feedback about iOS 12. |
[1173.62 --> 1177.66] It looks like they've taken all that positive feedback and put it in a fire. |
[1177.66 --> 1186.86] So, with iOS 12.1, Apple has brought its controversial performance management feature to the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and 10. |
[1186.86 --> 1193.48] So, this functionality throttles the phone's processor as its battery degrades over time. |
[1193.54 --> 1198.18] And it can stop the handset from randomly shutting down, which is good. |
[1198.18 --> 1204.24] But it can also cause its performance to degrade, which is less good. |
[1204.24 --> 1210.28] And the good counterpoint to that last point is that it can be turned off if desired. |
[1210.28 --> 1214.16] Now, I have an easy solution to this problem. |
[1215.22 --> 1222.78] How about Apple puts bigger batteries in their phones in the first place if they care about the user experience? |
[1223.58 --> 1224.28] I actually was... |
[1224.90 --> 1225.04] Okay. |
[1225.38 --> 1228.02] And again, I haven't done the background research on this. |
[1228.08 --> 1229.90] I haven't done my car review yet. |
[1229.94 --> 1231.70] So, I still have some digging to do. |
[1232.00 --> 1236.00] But I was impressed to hear when I walked onto the lot and I told... |
[1236.00 --> 1237.20] This was at a Chevy dealership. |
[1237.24 --> 1238.96] I told them I was already planning to buy their car. |
[1238.96 --> 1240.72] And I told them my reasoning. |
[1241.04 --> 1253.36] The reason that I wanted the Chevy Volt was because the electric range was advertised such that even when I factored in five years of lithium cell aging and cold weather, |
[1253.78 --> 1257.48] I would still get the desired range, which was about 45 kilometers. |
[1257.60 --> 1260.68] And they were like, oh, that's not actually how it works. |
[1261.02 --> 1265.78] We only discharge the battery down to about 30%. |
[1265.78 --> 1271.02] And we only charge it up to about 80%, like when it rolls off the lot. |
[1271.56 --> 1277.78] And so, you're actually only using about half of the capacity of the battery from day one. |
[1277.86 --> 1283.28] And then over time, as the cells degrade, it will expose more of it so that... |
[1283.28 --> 1284.90] And I forget what the period of time it was. |
[1284.94 --> 1287.16] It was either five or ten years or whatever it was. |
[1287.42 --> 1293.88] Over the period of time that you use the car, there should be no noticeable difference in the user experience. |
[1294.84 --> 1300.14] And so, on the Android side of things, what they do is they just stuff gigantic batteries in the phones as big as they can. |
[1300.20 --> 1301.88] You look at something like the OnePlus 6T. |
[1301.88 --> 1306.10] It's actually a really slim device, and it's got a 3,700 milliamp hour battery. |
[1306.30 --> 1306.36] Yeah. |
[1307.68 --> 1311.32] And they give you all of it, and then it just degrades over time. |
[1311.52 --> 1315.88] I can get behind that particular approach. |
[1316.62 --> 1319.78] Like, obviously, the ideal one would be you have extra. |
[1320.30 --> 1323.90] You build in spare area so that the user's experience is always consistent. |
[1324.46 --> 1328.62] But when you're going to have competitors that are exposing all the battery capacity, |
[1329.44 --> 1332.06] you have to be able to go toe-to-toe with them in reviews. |
[1332.12 --> 1333.78] So, I understand why you can't really do that. |
[1333.86 --> 1336.84] I'm also more okay with the fully exposed battery on a phone, |
[1337.28 --> 1340.06] and I'm more okay with the not fully exposed battery on a car. |
[1340.26 --> 1340.74] You know what I mean? |
[1340.94 --> 1341.16] Yep. |
[1341.44 --> 1343.40] Like a phone, you're going to be cycling it out. |
[1343.48 --> 1345.42] A car, you're probably going to want to keep for a longer period of time. |
[1345.46 --> 1345.64] Yep. |
[1345.78 --> 1347.24] And resale and all that kind of stuff. |
[1347.24 --> 1352.52] And then Apple's approach is, in order to preserve battery life and make sure the device doesn't turn off, |
[1352.52 --> 1356.48] it is to throttle the performance. |
[1358.06 --> 1360.30] I'm kind of surprised they're sticking with this. |
[1361.08 --> 1364.38] Like, I get that if this was the plan all along, |
[1364.46 --> 1366.96] to roll this out for the iPhone 8, the 8 Plus, and the X, |
[1367.44 --> 1370.12] that by the time this whole thing blew up in their face, |
[1370.14 --> 1373.52] it was probably too late to set a different course. |
[1374.14 --> 1376.86] Like, in order to keep these phones from turning off, |
[1376.94 --> 1380.30] because they were so close to, like, the bleeding edge, |
[1380.30 --> 1382.96] where they were going to potentially draw too much power |
[1382.96 --> 1386.64] once they were down to a low percentage of battery life left, |
[1386.68 --> 1387.88] and they were just going to, like, turn off. |
[1388.84 --> 1393.16] Like, if that was the plan, there's nothing that they can do to undo that, |
[1393.36 --> 1398.34] other than just change the amount of battery life that is exposed to the user, |
[1398.64 --> 1404.24] so that the old 15% becomes 0% to make sure that it won't just turn off. |
[1404.24 --> 1406.26] And I'd be more mad about that personally. |
[1406.50 --> 1407.82] I think most people would be. |
[1407.96 --> 1408.08] Yeah. |
[1408.32 --> 1408.52] Yeah. |
[1410.02 --> 1415.16] But I would like to see if maybe they change this strategy moving forward. |
[1416.36 --> 1418.10] Whether that be, like, I don't know. |
[1418.16 --> 1419.30] I don't even know what they would do. |
[1419.40 --> 1421.72] Do they try and get more power efficient on the processor |
[1421.72 --> 1423.68] and worry less about delivering more performance? |
[1424.16 --> 1425.10] Because that would work. |
[1425.76 --> 1427.22] Well, you can turn it off, right? |
[1427.40 --> 1428.52] You can turn the feature off. |
[1428.68 --> 1428.92] Yes. |
[1428.92 --> 1433.80] You know, here's the thing. |
[1435.76 --> 1437.12] My aunt needs a new phone. |
[1437.18 --> 1438.58] Did I talk about this on Wenshow last week? |
[1438.86 --> 1439.42] Don't think so. |
[1439.68 --> 1439.90] Okay. |
[1440.00 --> 1441.16] So my aunt needs a new phone. |
[1441.96 --> 1446.24] And I feel like it's really easy sometimes for people like us |
[1446.24 --> 1448.94] and people like our viewers, who I'm generalizing, |
[1449.06 --> 1450.94] but probably in a way that's pretty accurate, |
[1450.94 --> 1455.76] are among the more tech-savvy people in their social circles. |
[1456.58 --> 1456.68] Right? |
[1456.68 --> 1463.32] So what Apple's doing is annoying to us, and it feels wrong to us. |
[1463.48 --> 1467.70] But you've got to remember that Apple is not, like, some enthusiast brand. |
