1. That is an unconfirmed rumor about an unreleased product. 2. Samsung and other manufacturers
will reduce charging speeds for safety if the charger is using uninsulated/unsafe parts.
It's fine to hate Apple, but at least get the facts straight.

Annoying yes. For some a dealbreaker, for others not.

Apple people are unable to have group texts with Android people. What crappy

Unable? What are you talking about? I've had group texts with android/apple.

IIRC, it has something to do with not being able to modify the group.

I guess you'd just have to create a new group which is kinda annoying.

More reason to use an android. So it’s hard for people to include me in group

Weird. But I will almost literally never use the cord. So no biggie.

Without a cord, it’s impossible to use your phone while it’s charging

I use it all day, charge it at night. Maybe gets down to 40% battery...

That's because the cable you were using literally couldn't charge faster — not throttled like Apple

Incorrect. It charged all my other devices, including my previous Galaxy at

Not all devices can detect appropriate cable capacity. Guaranteed it's because of specific cable instead of all cables.

Sooooo, it’s the device, not the cable
Skeptical Optimist

It's the device throttling based on cable capacity for safety purposes, not throttling based on brand

Wait. that has nothing to do with Samsung and everything to do with the cable.

It wasn’t the cable

False equivalency: 1. Good chance Apple does this. 2. For profit rather than safety since there are lots of safe options

You realize the article is about something that doesn't exist, right?

You realize there are multiple reports of this and it fits their pattern of behavior, right?

Pre-outrage is the best outrage.

As is pre-outrage-outrage. Also, you still began with a false equivalency.

Let's not forget Google+ to lock Facebook users back into Google's domain

Google+ was such a mess. One of their products I didn't mind they killed.

Been ages since I used a cord with my iPhone for anything but charging (and even that is rare now).
