It is a faulty device, they should be honest about that. A better battery would also lead to a phone that lasts longer. And that's bad if you are apple.

  A "better battery" would have been a larger battery, which makes the phone bulkier. This isn't a good or bad choice, it's a tradeoff between form factor and battery life. This is a good choice for customers that want bulkier phones with longer battery life. But it would be a bad choice for customers that want a slim phone.

  The software fix also leads to a phone that lasts longer. Bad for Apple? No.

    If you consider the phone usable, sure... But the number one reason to buy a new phone over an old one is because it is slow.
    • zepto 7y ago
      Sure but that’s an effect of new phones being a lot faster because of advances.

        That is a very charitable viewpoint in the context where apple are accused of slowing down devices.
