* in Europe
Tim Cook can suck a fat one.
Oftentimes EU device laws affect other markets because it's easier to send the same device everywhere than to design and produce a separate one just for Europe.
Yeah I don't see Apple paying for wildly different phone designs for different markets. But I have no doubts they'll find some new way to make their phones worthless after 2 or so years.
Updates. That's all you need to know. They've already be caught with the whole slow phone after updates to make you buy a new phone.
I used to say that- but, they did actually have an argument for that- consistent battery life in exchange for lower performance. They thought users would prefer lowering performance of the phone so the battery still lasts just as long- and honestly I don't think they're that wrong. 95% of the time as long as it's usuable I don't care about the performance of my phone- but I do care about battery life.
He'd probably just enjoy it.
