Hacktivisim Intent – LiwenC
- Phones Being Slowed Down Deliberately By Companies
- Images or graphics (2-3) that SHOW your idea (the need not be original, but can be)
(keep upload images < 250K, use Preview to shrink images) - With the recent release of the iPhone X, it has been made aware that Apple releases an update to their iOS that slows down their products, so that users will buy new phones.
- at least one paragraph for each of the following
- The main idea is for the casual that does not buy phones every year to understand what happens to their phone, and for them to understand and prevent that from happening.
- This is important for all consumers that has purchased phones, and various other products. Since many people just use their phones, and update it if there is a new update out, they don’t know that this update will slow them down instead of helping them. With this project, the apple user base will hopefully understand that their phones are being slowed down, and are being forced to buy new products.
- The strategy that I will use is cultural jam, by altering the logo that the apple brand uses. The logo is the main theme that the company uses to sell their products, with this alteration of their brand, by changing their logos, this will corrupt the main message of their brand.
- The audience is everyone that uses phones, and don’t update them on a yearly basis.
- Rough budget for material, time, space needed to build; this can be a bullet list:
- Photoshop, (about $20 a month. )
- Should take up to a week to come up with the concept, and revising the idea.

Hmm, this is an interesting flip–we began class with Apple being the underdog, now we have to hack them to help consumers avoid their slow downs? How ironic It’s interesting to have you point this out.
I like the idea of re-designing the Apple logo. Is your plan to spread many images of this redesigned logo? And how will you link it to the phone slow-down issue?
I’s like to see some mock ups of the new hacked logo, and perhaps a message that would explain it. So both visuals (maybe a few choices) and a related text or story to accompany them… As wells a plan for how to spread the image. Can you identify good sites or places to launch this?
