Apple iOS 15.4.1 is released
Fix an issue where iPhone is running out too fast
Not long ago, Apple released the iOS 15.4 system, some users reported that in the OTA upgrade follow-up flight is bad, iPhone 11 consumes 80% of the power in 24 hours, while the screen on time is only 2 hours, iPhone 13 Pro Max can only stick to half a day. After some overseas testing institutions have found that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series have a lot of endurance decline, which seriously affects the use experience.
In response to this situation, Apple's response at that time was that within 48 hours after installing the new version of the operating system, the application and some mobile phone functions needed to be adjusted, and the battery life change was normal, and it could be temporarily observed for a period of time.
However, just this morning, Apple officially pushed the iOS/iPadOS 15.4.1 update to iPhone and iPad users, and its system update specifically mentioned that after fixing the update of iOS 15.4, the battery power may consume faster than expected, and it is recommended for all users to install.
The update also fixes an issue where Braille devices in iPhone might not respond when navigating text or displaying reminders, and Made for iPhone hearing devices might lose connectivity in some third-party apps. It's worth mentioning that this update was released about two weeks after the release of the new iPhone SE and iOS 15.4, which may be the last major feature update before iOS 16.
Samsung will enable Galaxy users to repair their phones themselves
Repair parts will be obtained from iFixit
Samsung today announced a new partnership with iFixit that allows some Of Galaxy's flagship devices to be repaired by users themselves. Samsung will provide genuine parts, repair tools, and repair guides for users who want to repair their Galaxy devices themselves. It is reported that the repair parts will be obtained from iFixit.
Samsung's new plan is to follow apple's footsteps, and at the end of last year, Apple also announced plans to support users to repair themselves. Similarly, Samsung's first repair support devices are limited, including the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21, and Tab S7 Plus, but not the latest Galaxy S22 devices. Samsung plans to roll out this initiative in the summer, which will support more devices over time.
Customers using Samsung's self-care program will receive step-by-step repair guidelines to replace the display assembly, back glass, and charging port, and used parts will be returned to Samsung for recycling. In a statement, Ramon Gregory, Samsung's senior vice president of customer care, said Samsung is "creating more ways for consumers to extend the life of their products with a premium care experience."
Both Apple and Samsung have rolled out these self-healing programs in response to maintenance rights legislation enacted by many states. Apple and other tech companies have struggled to lobby against such legislation, perhaps with the aim of avoiding widespread demands by implementing their own solutions. From another perspective, the changes made by Samsung and Apple can benefit the majority of consumers and give consumers more choices. Repairing old mobile phones can extend the use of products and contribute to energy conservation and environmental protection.
