Ha! Apple makes your phone completely inoperable if your microphone breaks. Is not just about less power is about keep everything else working as much as possible.

TL;DW: the iPhone resets if the microphone is damaged or not present.

I don't particularly like Louis Rossmann but I do support his stance.

Jesus Christ.

I can’t find a ton of information on this, which makes me think they fixed it in a software update, but I also can’t find any evidence that they fixed it. I’m interested to find out where this went.

Ah got it, yes Apple is a good example in this field.

But it comes to a point where the additional cost for parts and engineering aren’t worth it.

$100 for a flashlight with 10% the lumens for being on a single AAA would hardly beat out one that puts out the same max lumens for $5.

Walking a trail at night that functionality would be absolutely worthless and be dangerous even to attempt. Oh it’s okay it works on this extra AAA I have….
