Hello chaps
GBRedneck
16:30:26
Afternoon all
bobbeach
16:32:05
How do you decide if a price is “too high”?
bobbeach
16:32:31
Nonsense doc
maccast
16:33:02
it's too high for you when it's a price you don't want to pay @bobbeach
markw

16:35:09
Of course, on an individual consumer level. But what about on a societal/Economy level? Is Apple engaging in monopoly pricing?
Ewen
16:35:29
Theres a lot of people not paying for the X
DeepPan
16:35:35
Apple is now firmly in the “consumer electronics” space, not just tech, so that brings customers with different expectations, such as “this thing should always work exactly the same as it has worked previously”. They will also complain when their car uses more oil and petrol as it gets older.
patrice
16:35:37
No. Because apple doesn't have a monopoly
Ewen
16:35:47
Its an Angela special like the Watch Edition
DeepPan
16:37:53
All this could have been avoided with a single switch in settings, saying “don’t slow down my phone as the battery reduces efficiency”
GBRedneck
16:40:59
They admitted they made a mistake when they got found out more likely
patrice
16:41:40
DeepPan: No.. that would have been worse as your phone would just shut down and may eventually even fail to start up
Ewen
16:42:11
EXACTLY @GBRedneck Hand was already in the cookie jar
DeepPan
16:42:38
But Patrice, it would have been at the choice of the customer, and they would have been aware of the setting
bobbeach
16:43:39
Perhaps iPhones should have user replaceable batteries
patrice
16:43:39
Nope.. because most customers would have never found this setting to begin with
patrice
16:43:58
No. I don't believe in user replaceable parts
DeepPan
16:44:18
that’s why Patrice, the “slow down” function would be switched on as default :)
bobbeach
16:44:18
Don’t believe?
patrice
16:46:04
And we would be in the same situation DeepPan
britishmac
16:46:42
I'm going to sneeze! Back in the moment
DeepPan
16:47:08
No Patrice, it wouldn’t as the option would have been there in settings, not doing it by stealth
patrice
16:47:30
But since most people didn't know about it, it would be all the same
Patrick
16:47:36
<< Leaves the chat room
DeepPan
16:50:55
nope, very different
patrice
16:51:36
People would complain about it anyway... so what's the difference???
DeepPan
16:53:35
If you decide to do/not do something based on if people will complain, then it’s already the end!! :D
bobbeach
16:53:45
Apple, like all firms, will charge a price that maximises its profit
patrice
16:54:28
I'm just saying that it wouldn't have changed anything... The phone would still be slower for the average user, and they still wouldn't have known about it...
patrice
16:54:54
Simply said, I don't believe that settings are the solution to everything. And I work in Software
patrice
16:55:21
You need to communicate that's the key thing APple has been missing
DeepPan
16:55:45
yep, and part of that communication would be including the setting
patrice
16:57:01
Maybe.. I still think you really don't need it! If Apple had said: we're doing this and this is why, this would have been the end of the issue
bobbeach
16:58:33
If a top end phone has been $1000 for a decade, in real terms they’ve become much cheaper
