It was such a big deal because Apple has a monopoly on „acceptable“ replacement batteries (the system shows a warning when you insert a 3rd party battery), and they charge 3x their actual worth.
- nonninz 7y agoIf I buy an used iPhone I want to make sure all the parts inside are original. The warning is there for that reason. The phone still works with 3rd party batteries.
- p1necone 7y agoThat's absolutely a separate problem worth being mad about, but that doesn't change the cpu throttling thing being afaic a perfectly sane power management feature. I'm surprised to be defending Apple on this, normally most things they do seem pretty anti consumer and leave a bad taste in my mouth. But in this specific case I really don't think they deserve the scorn.
