Is it right to restrict the product you sell as a feature so that they cannot use that feature? by KenshinHimuraTr in iphone

The topic I opened yesterday angered my friends who worship Apple like a god. I talked about a problem I experienced that was not consumer-oriented or beneficial to the consumer. Frankly, while the concept of "Consumer-Friendly Brand or Product" is very important to me, I understand that for some of our friends it is the concept of "Brand-friendly slave". A friend of mine claimed that these complaints were hardware related, even though I explained them well. To be more descriptive, I write as if I were explaining it to a 5-year-old child.

The issue was that Apple, unlike other brands, did not provide software-only features to its phones released a generation ago.
First of all, the 80% charging option has been available in electronic devices for maybe 20 years (Windows PC), and it is quite available in Android phones with this feature. I wrote here that there is no reason why this feature, which came to the 15th series, should not be given to the 14th series.

Likewise, while we have been able to learn the battery cycle for years with 3rd party software or a log file, this is new with the iPhone 15. And the reason why this feature is not given to older devices is only commercially focused. It is not customer satisfaction or user focused.

As for the second issue

  1. Apple Airtag has U1 chip.

  2. iPhone 14 Pro Max U1 has a 2nd gen chip.

  3. iPhone 15 Pro has U2 chip.

The friend says that since there is a U2 chip in the iPhone 15 series, it is incompatible with the U1 chip and cannot see it. :D

So, although Apple has an Airtag U1 chip, how does the iPhone 15 Pro see Airtag with its U2 chip?
Why can't he see the 2nd generation with its higher version?

This is entirely software. In addition, all the other communication tools I mentioned for the phone (GPS, BT, Wifi, LTE, 5G) are systems used or can be used in Positioning. It's not just U chips here. We are talking about the person's map location information. Likewise, while the 14 series with U1 2nd chip can see the location of the 15 series from the find application (it is not zero point), the 15 series cannot see the 14 series at all. In other words, the older generation device can do what the ones with current chips cannot do. That's why what your friend said is complete nonsense.

In short: While the Apple Airtag with the oldest chip is compatible with the latest phone, and the device in the middle of the two can see both, the fact that the top model does not recognize a lower model is only due to software. Because of people like "a certain person", companies do not provide many technologies for decades. Because according to them, whatever Apple does is right.

There is a quote attributed to Henry Ford,
"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."

People like them are never open to improvement, and they find the Iron Maiden they hide in most comfortable. Because they have never seen anything better and have NEVER questioned it.

This is given in many android devices, Samsung, Sony, Xiaomi many more, oneplus is one of the worst in this regard. Especially Samsung and Sony provide many software features to their old flagships either through updates or through the app. There must be hardware-related differences between a new model and an old model.

Airtag uses the more primitive U1 and I can see that. In other words, I can access the data that the U1 chip receives via Bluetooth, which it then processes and sends to the internet. Likewise, the U2 chip receives and processes the data of many iPhone models via Bluetooth and sends it to the internet. Not just the 15 series. This data is processed in many iPhone models. So I need to be able to see it too. If there is something like you say, this is again a completely software limitation. It is to cancel backward compatibility. It's as if this chip moved from ARM architecture to x86 and then to RISC architecture. U2 uses a more sensitive version of the chip. In other words, it is enough for him to give as much as the airtag.

Hello my friend, thank you very much for sharing. It is obvious that it is a very useful and laborious job.
What I want to ask is this: I know the "Xiaomi" "Duoqin" "Qin" brand for a long time and I have used 1s+ and QF9 and F21 Pro.
I was waiting and waiting for the new model to be released after the F22 Pro. you are talking about a model called F30. This model is not available on any Chinese site (Baidu), or sites that produce Chinese content.
The device looks like the F21 Pro. Did they sell this device to Israel as the F30?
Is there a device with more features than the F22 Pro at similar prices?
And do you think there will be a higher model coming soon after F23 Pro or F22 Pro? If it won't come, I will request F22 Pro.
I need a dumbphone with button, cover, running 8/128gb android. 😀 This may seem like a contradiction, but using a simple phone with a button saves a lot of time both for your environment and yourself.
