Apple has admitted the battery meters of its smartphones are misleading

Apple has conceded that the battery meters of its smartphones are  misleading  its customers

Apple Inc. has accepted that the battery meter of smartphones has a bug that is capable of making iPhone 6S plus or 6S show higher level of charge than it actual has. The fault means that the meter of the battery fails to update the actual percentage, leading to the shutdown of some iPhones apps whereas showing that the battery has been fully charged.

Apple believes that the bug seems when users shift from one time zone to another or manually make changes to the time displayed by their iPhones, something a user may do while travelling or making changes to daylight savings.

The California based company mentioned that it was fixing the error, but in the meanwhile users must first get their iPhones restarted, and then enable the automatic time setting found in the “Date & Time” settings.

The company has a past of bugs linked to its date and time settings. For many years, a bug with the automatic daylight savings broke alarms of smartphones has got people late at work. Savings of daylight were also to be blamed for don’t disturb bug in 2013, whereas  a bug in the text handling of iPhone found in 2015 meant anybody could be instantly crashing the smartphone with a text message.

Currently, Apple is conducting tests of its iOS software’s new version that could resolve the issue. The iOS 9.3 update, launched to testers in public beta, would fix bugs and add some new features including the capability to pair a single iPhone with a multiple number of Apple watches.

In other news, Cnet has reported that the presidential candidate of the Republican party Donald Trump has solemnly promised that "We're going to get Apple to build their damn computers and things in this country instead of in other countries."

At the moment, Apple is only manufacturing MacPro in the United States( specifically in the state of Texas). On its jobs generation webpage the company has insisted that it has created and supported 1.9m jobs in the largest economy, as in the later part of the last year. It has also claimed that "thirty-one of the 50 states provide parts, materials, or equipment to make Apple products."

The optics nevertheless are not optimum. It might well be that the cardstock for the beautiful letter press of Apple is brought from Wisconsin, but the picture of a large number of Chinese workers working in different conditions in the People’s Republic of China to manufacture iPhone is quite powerful.

One could not say how Trump will strong arm  CEO Tim Cook.
