Shots fired!
Apple may have apologized over their phone slowing controversy, but that doesn’t necessarily stop the dog pile from continuing. Both LG and Samsung got in on the fun, by making some statements to Phonearena:
LG Electronics, Inc.: Never have, never will! We care what our customers think.
Samsung Electronics Co.,LTD.: Product quality has been and will always be Samsung Mobile’s top priority. We ensure extended battery life of Samsung mobile devices through multi-layer safety measures, which include software algorithms that govern the battery charging current and charging duration. We do not reduce CPU performance through software updates over the lifecycles of the phone.
HTC and Motorola had also, previously, gotten in on the act. Which is pretty entertaining overall. Though just the tiniest flicker of memory tells me that Samsung probably has the least wiggle room to do this.
