Quote the whole phrase: a "well-designed compromise". What's well-designed about secret behavior that angers users? But it's hard to trust that statement anyway. I'd be more likely to trust them if they'd reported that on their own, instead of hiding it for a year then issuing a PR statement when users proved it was happening. And if that statement wasn't contradicted by their behavior in shutting down phones after the screen was replaced. "First and foremost, we have never — and would never — do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades." ... They forgot to mention the "unless the user tries to repair it" exception.
