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/
