That's the nature on fanboyism. I met an apple fanboy recently. His thing was that apple is amazing because they care the most about user experience, the design is so amazing, and it's so much better than anything else! After he talked at length about how everything about apple is great, I said that I'd learned that apple made iphones slow on purpose 3 years in and when caught said it was about saving battery. I said that's not a good user experience to me, if the phone becomes slow after 3 years. He told me that _his own iphone_ is going thru that, and he still hadn't time to buy a new one but he was going to, but it was great because it was a conscious design choice by apple. These people are just brainwashed by a brand.

Your misrepresentation of the issue reeks of ideological fanboyism itself. As the battery ages, running at peak power can lead to random shutdowns/restarts. Apple chose to throttle the devices (which in most use cases is basically imperceptible) to avoid random shutdowns of the device, which in my view is indeed a better user experience. I have seen no indication that competing phones do not suffer the same issue. The notion that Apple deliberately hobbled their devices to reduce their lifetime in order to encourage sales is ludicrous; iPhones hold their resale value far better than other phones. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208387 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208387 https://9to5mac.com/2021/01/21/iphone-trade-in-value/ https://9to5mac.com/2021/01/21/iphone-trade-in-value/
