I'm pretty sure they ran an exchange program for affected models of the 6s: https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/12/06/apple-says-iphone-6s-battery-issue-bigger-than-first-thought/95043680/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/12/06/apple-says-ip... There's only so much you can do to make lithium batteries last forever. These days the phone tries to figure out when you need it charged by in the morning so it's not sitting on the charger at 100% for eight hours overnight, and this is supposed to help.

That replacement program was for a different problem, not battery degradation per se but a manufacturing error; The throttling affected other models too (and replaced 6s batteries after enough time I guess). It's true that battery degradation can't be avoided eventually; but there's a reason why these complaints are rarer on high-end Androids (Also low-end, but it's likely users have appropriately lower expectations for these).

  The battery degradation is inevitable though.
