When the fuck will it end? This is getting stupid. I was using my 4a as an MP3 player after i upgraded to the 6a, but it closes the player within 10 minutes EVERY TIME now, because that battery update basically chopped of 7 of the 8 limbs that thing had. I guess that's e-waste now. Oh wait, i can switch over to my main device, that will for sure work as an MP3 player, because i payed 400 euro bucks for it.

#NOPE.

I guess being an MP3 player is only accessible for 25 euro devices that are not connected to the google borg collective. Stop fucking killing my phones you dickweeds, what the actual fuck.

“The update will enable battery management features that will reduce capacity and charging performance after the battery reaches 400 charge cycles. We’ll contact impacted customers next month, with all the information they need to address the issue.”

Isn't that everyone? It's wild to advertise the length of updates but have phones that keep being unable to reach that full cycle without getting kneecapped.
