4 It Gets the Battery Issue Wrong
Samsung obviously couldn’t resist poking fun at Apple’s “Batterygate” debacle. While Apple did admit to slowing down older iPhones as their batteries age, the Samsung ad spot gets the problem (and its fix) completely wrong.
When the woman in the ad takes her lagging iPhone to an Apple Store, an employee tells her that switching off performance management is the only solution, but will increase the risk of random shutdowns. The employee makes no mention of a $29 battery replacement, which would completely fix the performance issue.
