Then you are being deliberately obtuse as many here have already explained that this case was never about the throttling. Quoting another user (Karunamon):

Basically they were slowing down people's device, without informing them, and forcing them to buy new devices as they refused to replace the battery even when customers were willing to pay for a new battery!
- arcticbull 6y agoOk that's fine but... > 1. Applied the throttling fix silently I would maintain that the device that didn't throttle, taking into account the real capabilities of the battery, and instead shut down unexpectedly at 20% was broken. It was fixed by this patch. > 2. Denied warranty replacements. There's as much reason to replace a battery under warranty that has maintained 80% charge capacity after 1000 cycles or 2 years, as there is an ink cartridge starting to run low. Batteries start getting worse after each charge cycle, and my understanding is that they followed the prescribed policy. > 3. Wouldn't even replace the battery with cash in hand until after the suit was filed. I'm very much against this policy, as a right-to-repair advocate I believe battery replacements should be simple and end-user achievable. Short of that I agree that the replacement should have been carried out on a cost-plus basis on request. > 4. ..leaving people with no good way to have a working device. This is where we disagree except as I replied in (3).
- Ygg2 6y agoYour point was that throttling is better than not working. But that's a false dichotomy. Rather than throttle. You can show less charge. It's what other phones do.
- arcticbull 6y agoWhy would I want the phone to turn off sooner?
- rat9988 6y agoIt's still better than being slow while being on.
- arcticbull 6y agoHow is a black screen better than a device that's slower, but on?
- ivalm 6y agoWhen my phone battery is low I often can charge it. Most of the time I have opportunity to charge multiple times a day if needed. If I need long life I can switch to battery saver mode; in normal operations I prefer better performance.
- Ygg2 6y agoWhy would I want phone with worse performance?
