The ~60 lawsuits [1] filed over this point to (A) in my opinion.
If this was normal behavior, we would see similar throttling on previous iPhones, Android's and laptops.

- hvidgaard 8y agoWe constantly hear about phones that die before reaching 0%, or losing the last 20% very fast. Google Nexus 6P comes to mind. I'm fairly confident that what apple did was the most logical thing. They should have been more informative about it, but it's better than a phone dying at 20%.
- arcticbull 8y agoFiled in the US (a heavily litigious society) against what was recently the worlds largest company (so right or wrong if they lose they can definitely pay)? I'm shocked that they found only 60 groups who could be both cynical and litigious :P Put yourself in their shoes.
- askafriend 8y agoI’ve had many Android phones that experience unexpected shutdowns when their Li-Ion battery degrades. This is a limitation of Li-Ion battery technology. It has nothing to do with OS or phone manufacturering like you keep trying to imply. This isn’t really up for debate. What is up for debate is how a manufacturer should handle this limitation and communicate it to customers.
