This whole fiasco is part of what motivated me to move out of the Apple ecosystem. The other part was the abandonment of the headphone jack.

  So you moved away from Apple because they implemented a software fix to prevent your phone from crashing when the hardware eventually degrades? Sounds like a kneejerk reaction based on misleading headlines.

    It was Apple's secrecy/denial that resulted in a degradation of trust, not the throttling.

    They claimed for years that they didn't slow down older (1-2 year) iPhones. Then it turned out they did. If the phone was only going to last a year without becoming unusable unless it was throttled, then that's terrible design. If they slowed down old iPhones to drive sales then that's fraudulent. Either way I'd rather not be in an ecosystem that only has one manufacturer that conducts business that way.

    Hmm but my phone wasn’t crashing ... it definitely was slower!
