Reading articles isn't a problem. Apples approach to "assuming everyone's device behaves the same way" (quotes because I don't honestly think any qualified engineer would make that assumption.) was wrong. Some people use their phones less. My father doesn't turn his phone ON unless he wants to make a call.(Frustrating though that is...) This makes a difference to battery performance as they don't just age out sitting in a box but through use as well. But here's Apple's take: https://www.apple.com/au/batteries/why-lithium-ion/ https://www.apple.com/au/batteries/why-lithium-ion/ " For instance, you might use 75 per cent of your battery’s capacity one day, then recharge it fully overnight. If you use 25 per cent the next day, you will have discharged a total of 100 per cent, and the two days will add up to one charge cycle. It could take several days to complete a cycle. The capacity of any type of battery will diminish after a certain amount of recharging. " Some people used their phone a lot and had batteries replaced - either through Apple or not. And some human within Apple signed off on a solution to effectively make everyones older phone worse. What else could they have done? Well, from my original NPR link: "Starting in 2018, iPhone users have been able to better control an iPhone's battery life and check on the health of the battery, along with allowing users to turn off iPhone battery throttling" Make no mistake, Apple acted poorly. But they do better now. Whether that is because they were caught or not, we will never know. I like many of the things Apple does. I have a lot of respect for their trailblazing. Screens seemed stuck in 1920x1080 hell until Apple unplugged screen development again. But they are a corporation like any other and can't be trusted.
