What Is “Planned Obsolescence,” and How Does It Affect My Devices?
What Is “Planned Obsolescence,” and How Does It Affect My Devices?
In 2017, Reddit users discovered that Apple was using software updates to slow down or throttle the performance of old iPhones, supposedly to improve battery health. It eventually ended in 2020 with a $500 million lawsuit settlement. Apple’s lack of communication about the slowdowns—it wasn’t disclosed to consumers before researchers discovered it—brought a debate regarding “planned obsolescence” to the forefront of the tech world.

Ventriloquism - Futility Closet
Ventriloquism - Futility Closet
On September 19, 1968, as the Soviet Union’s Zond 5 spacecraft was circling the moon, Jodrell Bank Observatory and the CIA were shocked to intercept the voices of cosmonauts Valery Bykovsky, Vitaly Sevastyanov and Pavel Popovich reading out telemetry and computer data and even discussing the prospect of a landing. The Zond mission had been thought to be uncrewed; now it sounded as though the Soviets might beat the United States to a moon landing. Apollo 17 astronaut Eugene Cernan said that the incident “shocked the hell out of us.” It was a hoax. Popovich recalled later, “When we realized...
