    iOS 11.3 came out in march of 2018, so nearly 5 years ago, with a menu in the settings telling you your battery’s health, it’s peak maximum performance, and included the ability to disable throttling on your phone if you wanted to.

    Like. They did tell people. They literally added a feature to make older phones last longer (so even if your battery was shot, you could keep using your old phone), and people still bitched about it.

    Apple doesn’t make their money on selling you a new phone. They make their money by keeping you on iOS. New or old they don’t care. They just need you using their App Store.

    Again. I’m not saying apple isn’t classic evil big business. But this one ain’t on them. Either people were gonna bitch and sue because their batteries “are dying earlier then they should” or were gonna bitch and sue because “my phones being slowed down”. Physics says you can’t have both.
