Your point about opposing right-to-repair is true.
The one about battery throttling is missing a lot of context and is extremely disingenuous. Apple noticed that aging batteries couldn't provide the voltage and would crash the phone, so they reduced the speed at which the CPU could reach full frequency so they wouldn't crash the device. It didn't throttle the peak speed of the CPU, but rather how quickly it would increase its clock. It wasn't done maliciously or for planned obsolescence reasons, but rather to provide existing iPhone owners a better experience on their aging device.
- mojo-ponderer 1y agoThe issue is that Apple didn't make it clear to users what was happening, and so people thought that their phones were just slowing down from age, causing them to buy new ones without understanding that the only real issue was the battery. Apple has paid hundreds of millions in damages and fines due to this.
