Can you show me where I claimed Apple made such a denial? Or maybe explain why you think such a denial is in any way relevant? They saw that battery life was causing problems in their phones, and they quietly band-aided the problem without informing users. If I kill someone and bury them in the back yard, and then get caught years later, I hope you'll jump to my defense with the line "Can you show me where he denied killing that guy?!" Obviously silently masking battery life issues without telling anyone is... well... masking the fact that your product suffers from battery life issues.

This is a comparison so far fetched that I'm dubious it's even made in good faith. Throttling clock speeds when voltages are insufficient is something that many, perhaps even most, electronics do. Because the alternative a device that crashes. Slow is strictly better than non-functional. > Obviously silently masking battery life issues without telling anyone is... well... masking the fact that your product suffers from battery life issues. Yes, in the same way that literally every car company "silently masks" that their cars' power will degrade over time. The same way that realtors "silently mask" that a house's paint will fade or that its pipes will rust. Products degrade over time. Obviously, companies don't deliberately advertise this fact. But unless they're actually denying that this degradation will happen, they're not masking anything.
