I'm in full agreement with you. A good chunk of the comments in this thread seem ridiculous to me. Some people not deeming these users as doing anything important enough ("Most users just use their phones for casual internet browsing, candy crush, and texting.") to get what they paid for. Here's another one, apparently straight from Apple's marketing team: "It makes perfect sense for Apple to optimize their devices for stability and max run time." This was perfectly timed to come out just after the silly Mozilla thing, with people talking about how they've lost trust in the company; here's Apple gimping their hardware and not telling their paying customers a damn thing about it.

The difference between the Mozilla thing and this though is the level of outrage and the fact people are actually trying to make excuses for Apple. Mozilla did their thing imho in all naivety. Someone there thought that would be "cool" you know because Mr robot is cool, but clearly missed the point. Apple have a history of trying to pass off design flaws as features; antennagate anyone? As far as I'm concerned if you know that a component will deteriorate over time like a battery making it practically impossible to replace is a design flaws.
