I disagree this is "straight up illegal deception", in fact, I find the slowing down perfectly rational and a desirable feature. The problem isn't the slowing down, but it is shining light on the irreplaceability, which IMHO is the true crime against the planet. That our legal infrastructures haven't caught up to it is irrelevant, planned obsolescence is a cancer, and if this is the only time people will notice, damn straight I'll use it
- lostmsu 9y agoIt's quite selfish to assume what's OK for you is ok for everyone else in a same situation.

I'm saying it's bad for the planet because of the ecological cost of making an iphone being artificially pinned to that for a battery, in spite of their having very different lifetimes. If people in general thought those lifetimes should be equal, there would be no uproar to this revelation (the slowing down thing).
