Remember when the largest company in the world admitted that they were sabotaging you, then abjectly offered a discount on fixing it only to sabotage your attempt to do so, and you were … fine with it?
In some ways it’s nice to hear Apple admit what we have long known, like a partner admitting a worst-kept secret. At least everybody’s finally being honest. On the other hand, it sucks to have a phone that intentionally doesn’t work.
These iPhone 6 battery cases can help in some ways. Like a friend’s shoulder to cry on, they can remind you that your phone’s 37-minute battery life isn’t your fault. They can get you back to how you felt before the lies and cheating. But they can’t take away the sting of corporate infidelity.
Your trust was broken, and you’ll carry that burden the rest of your life like so many dead phones.
Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to patch things up with Apple. Other consumer/brand relationships have suffered worse and come out stronger than ever. Think of Netflix’s Qwikster debacle, or New Coke. With some hard work, open-heartedness, and the support of a battery case, you could heal the wound Apple caused.
Or maybe it’s time to explore an open mobile device relationship. Your next phone could be an Android and it wouldn’t mean that Apple was out of your life forever — just that you were exploring yourself and other mobile ecosystems.
Or maybe your relationship with Apple has stopped providing meaningful value for your life and it’s time to end it. You still wish it felt like 2010 when new iPhone releases were exhilarating and full of potential, but it will never be like that again. Change is the only constant.
Whether you decide to buy this battery case and see if you can make it work with your old phone, or to sever ties and move on, you deserve a device that makes you feel loved. Never forget that.
