That really says it all. However, I am also shocked at the lack of consumer protections regarding such artificially imposed slowdowns.

- judge2020 5y agoIt wasn’t artificial, it was required to prevent random shutdowns due to over-voltage on a degraded battery. The fine was due to them not telling the consumer like they do now in ‘battery health’.
- sova 5y agoI never experienced a random shutdown on my old iPhone despite not allowing the software update for years. Finally, when I did update the phone, everything was noticeably slower, instantly, so that sounds more like good PR management than actual consumer-minded thinking to me. Yes, devices get old and batteries get old, but my understanding is that this happens even if you replace the battery with a new one, which would negate this argument.
