Do Samsung make apple batteries?
More problems for Apple
i know samsung makes some of apples screens or they did at one point idk if they still do. not sure about batteries though
Basically Apple made a software that intentially messes up the battery so people think their phone is slow then they buy a new phone so Apple get more sales/profit which is what Apple always cares about and not about its products and customers. I had to change my battery after 2 years of use. And one of my relatives has a iPhone 4s and since they bought in( 6to 7 years ago) they havenât upgraded the software and they havenât changed their battery since, that is the reason you should not upgrade the software as it messes up the batteryâs functionality. Well thatâs my opinion anywayâŚ

There are sites, thatâll tell you who makes what for apple. Also watch breakdown videos, where theyâre taken apart, and often theyâll say what is what.
I know Samsung n Sony make lots of parts for apple, and also some tech from Moto (they own a lot of patents allobiles need).
Hitachi owns IPS software/tech that allows you to view a screen at lots of angles. Without it, it like an old monitor where you have to look straight at the screen.

Iâm not sure where you are getting your findings, but from the research I have read and experienced they have decent battery life and the average iPhone typically stays supported years longer than android phones. I have an old iPhone 4 (for back up when my Android phone fails) that is no longer supported. Its battery is still strong. The phone is slow but it still works better than many newer Android phones that are no longer supported.
My wife just replaced her iPhone 6 battery even though it was at 96% percent life according to Apple. Apple still replaced the battery under the replacement policy that just ended. Its still a great phone and fast enough to access many of the apps on the market.
You should easily get 3 or 4 years out of a new iPhone and may not have to replace the battery unless you are power user.

Samsung SDI and LG Chem are 2 suppliers. There can be more.
Thatâs what happens when the quest for thinness if favoured over constructionâŚcough coughâŚnew iPad proâŚ
But when the scale of reports is taken into consideration, they sell millions of devices yet only a few thousand ever make the press for issues, from which we never find out the circumstances from which the issue has developedâŚscreen hinge forced too much, iPhone in back pocket bent from 200+lb person sitting on it etcâŚ
Apple products donât have military grade resistance to common usage issues, though for the prices charged it might no be a bad idea toughening them up a bit more

VERY old iphone, old ipod, old ipad I own.
As there are no more updates/upgrades available these are working fine. 
But this is the reason I would never go for such âsour applesâ.
Regarding old Macbooks : With LINUX these are doing well.

Apple drop models quicker than android. Unlike apple, older android phones still receive app updates, and security updates, both of which dont happen with iPhones, just not operating updates.
Plus, (was made public knowledge) android donât slow down their older fines, and restrict the batteries. Although I âthinkâ apple have backtracked on the battery issue n sent out codes to stop, killing older phones batteries.

yeh as you said the previous generations iPhones are pretty much better than the new ones for battery as when you upgrade the software it messes up your battery to deliver peak performance on you phone. i bought by iPhone 6 brand new at the end of 2016 and i had to replace it on the December of 2018 as it kept randomly shutting down, overheating, and sometimes it never charged. the battery was poor too. after 2 years the battery health was on 80 percent which means thats its significantly degraded so this may suggest that the apples batteries are pretty horrendous tbh.
oh right cool.
Reminds me of the stickers I had years n years ago. And to have a joke, I put the stickers on my portable blaster (it was a 3d superwoofer by Hitachi) and called it a APPLE MAC BLASTER (Mac being my name)
The place where I first learnt to turn on n use a pc, had a brand new Apple Macintosh computer (it was all built into the monitor, which for 1992 was bloody amazing.
The PCs I was using had 100mb ram!

One of the first computer I wrote some software (in assembler language) was a ROLM 1602B. The RAM was 16kB. Extendable to 32 kB. The (removable !) hard disk had 60 MB. And this was in the 1980âs ! You see how fast this all has changed !
For the telephone you see above there was an adapter available - something like a âheadphoneâ - and with this and a modem you could transfer data via the analog telephone line âŚ
What iOS you running on that? Lol

Doesnât your phone ever rot though?
Itâs important to know the scale of those problems, and the article doesnât mention it - purposely, because mentioning a low number would make the article less interesting.
My brother-in-law had a 2016 MacBook Pro with a dead pixel. At the time, there was some articles stating it was a âbig issueâ. After the same outlets would state that it had, in fact, affected a minor number of devices - something like under 0.5%. Every other issue with some high-end tech product, including the bending iPhone 6, was about the same. Itâs certainly sad for those people affected, but still far from being a real production issue.
I can remember only one exception for the big issues with high-end tech products: Samsungâs Galaxy Note 7âs exploding battery. It was a real issue, to the point where they recalled every single unit and stopped sales. Other than that, all others were just big nothingburguers so far.

Apple is the worst. Need proof? Just watch Louis Rossmanâs videos on Youtube. I would never spend money on an apple product.

Man, the âIs Apple worth itâ is a loaded question for some! Let me start this out by saying Iâve been in tech support since 1993, building custom pcs, and have a LOT of experience in both Windows pcs, Apple computers, as well having owned my own computer consulting business for a number of years.
Back in the day I remember when I was using my tiny little Motorola RAZR flip phone. I loved that thing. Then I got my iPhone 3G and loved it MORE. It gave you a ton of things you could do, lots of functional apps, etc.
Then I went back to university in my 30s, and they required the students to own Apple computers so that we would be using the same platform they did for all of the graphics courses I was taking. So I ended up with an iMac and a Mac Pro tower as well (the tall aluminum one, not the trash-can design).|
At that time, the products were solid, well thought out, the software was great, and there were a TON of pro companies designing audio and media creation apps for the iPads / iPhones, and it was great. Not to mention, you could open any of the products and upgrade your memory, HDDS, SSDS, etc.
I stuck with Apple through the 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, and 5S. And as each generation came, there were more and more problems, as well as more **âApple doing sneaky things to slow down your device so that youâd end up getting a new one, thinking your old one was going badâ**stuff. Apple would later come out and admit to slowing down the phones and devices to âsave battery lifeâ, but if you talked to customer support, they would TELL YOU that if your device was slowing down, it was faulty and should be replaced. It was purely a marketing maneuver.
Then there was the âfunâ problem with their email app. I was using GMAIL, so NOT using the built in , default âmailâ app on iPhone. Every month or two, my 16GB iPhone (which actually only had 11.5 GB of space due to their O.S. taking up a massive chunk of space) would tell me that I had no space left.
So Iâd have to dig through the storage app and see what was sucking up all of my space. Appleâs mail app would show up at a whopping 4-8 GB of space. THERE WERE NO MESSAGES IN IT!! How does it keep growing? One does not know.
Calling Apple support would result in them having you do a âbackup and restoreâ. Even they didnât know why the Mail app kept growing in size, other than that âit doesâ. Youâd do a backup, and then a full restoration of your phone. The problem was, in order to do a restoration, Apple would also ask for your password. And then it would tell you âthatâs not your passwordâ. Sure it was, the problem was, the backup and restore was defective as well. It would often ask for your ORIGINAL password. Not the CURRENT password that you were required to change every so often. But the very first Apple password you used! And support wasnât allowed to tell you what that was, you had to figure it out on your own. Even after telling them your CURRENT password, which they verified, they could not / would not tell you what password their restoration system DID want.
It was around that time that good Android phones were coming out for decent prices and I finally just⌠gave up on Apple entirely. My iMacâs power supply literally exploded in a cloud of smoke, taking the logic board with it and the GPU, and just those 3 components cost more than my entire iMac was worth to replace. So, in one fell swoop, I got an Android phone AND built two new Windows PCs from scratch.
At this point in time the only Apple product I would even consider, is a either a 6th Generation iPad , or an iPad Pro, purely to use as media tools (drawing, sketching, and music production / interface with my synthesizer and Rolli Products that no longer fully support Android.
Apple has headed in a direction with soldering in ram, ssds, etc, making it impossible to upgrade most of their products (but not all). I donât much fit in with the âthrow it away and buy another oneâ group. Iâd rather upgrade it over time, put in a new ssd, upgrade the memory, etc. Apple would prefer us to toss out old devices out every couple years and spend a ton of money replacing them. Or, I can take the same money and invest in a hand built PC (that can still run OS X if you build it right), and itâs actually faster than what youâd get from Apple.
Just my 2 cents!

Well, youâre right: no software update, no battery change - but the apple needs replacement.
Anyway, you know the saying:
one apple a day keeps the doctor away.
So there is always a fresh one âŚ
