people really wish that this was a hardware problem. It doesn’t look like that’s the case
Uhhhh well let’s wait and see what actually happens before we say anything confidently, Apple is TELLING us it’s a software issue but that doesn’t mean it’s not hardware. Their “solution” might just be throttling the shit out of their processor. Which, to be fair, might not even be that noticeable as iPhones have processing power to spare.
Remember “antenna-gate”? Apple told us they could fix it with software there too, and it ended up being bullshit. That was a pure hardware problem, but their PR people are trained to say “we’ll fix it with an update” before they actually have any real info.
