It's almost if as $600 devices should be able to replace the $40 part it relies on to function but has a much shorter life than the rest of the device.
Great idea now just pay Apple 500 dollar to change out the part for you
Who doesn't underclock their devices as their batteries go through charging cycles?
Are you being deliberately retarded?
There's a difference between the end user doing such a thing themselves because they decide they want to and the company doing it without the end users knowledge then lying about it when asked if they actually do so because "it's for your own good".

Oh so this is why my phone has 3600 mah and my friends iPhone is 1400. How can these icucks stand their 3 hour battery life is beyond me.
Just keep paying 1000 bucks for a phone, every year, to our shareholders, goyims.
They need a new private jet this year and a new mansion.
Apple has done battery replacements for ages, it’s like $70.
>b-but they should have the choice!
>grasping at straws this hard
It’s not really that out of line to assume the vast majority of iOS customers care more about battery life than shaving off a few microseconds of execution time on an old device that’s already slow as fuck to begin with.

Then they should want a warning that their battery is degrading so they can make the choice to get it replaced, or have it replaced under warranty if it is still covered.
This is done in the background with no indication to the user. It's a cover up to try and prevent them from noticing.
if I don't play faggy phone games why would I care?
Exactly. They think their phone is getting slow because it's old, and therefore needs replacing. It doesn't take a genius to see how this works in Apple's favour.

>battery replacement costs 10x the cost of the battery
whew, kikes
LOL ARE YOU POOR OR SOMETHING
>safety features are bad
Yeah we should go the Samsung route and just let our phone batteries explode at random.
Anyone who didn't already know this is retarded. Who gives a shit about Apple products anyways but women and soyboys?
>Just bought a new IPhone XV
>Screen locks up, displays only one message
>"Hey user, it's been almost 24 hours since you've been at an Apple Store. For your own benefit we are shutting down your phone. But don't worry, we can fix it at your nearest store, just bring money"
>>recalls are bad
Yeah we should just go the Apple route and pretend nothing is ever faulty until it literally explodes and takes down a plane and kill 66 people.
Noone thinks that planned obsolescence is not real you faggots
>look mommy im making shit up on Sup Forums to make myself feel smart xdeeeee
So we are pretending that android phones dont do the same?
Lol, soy boy do you throw cash away? Just because you have a good sum of wealth (if you actually do and your not some McDonald's employee who buys apple products to feel better) then you would know to save money is to hold onto it as it builds your wealth
"A fool and his money are soon parted"
I'm an Apple doofus. Can't wait to hear about the settlement. This is gonna become a class action lawsuit because Apple doesn't give you the option to downgrade your OS and remove said "upgrades" that are screwing around with clock speeds.
I don't know, OP, I'm a fucktard millennial retard and the Apple logo turns me into a blathering faggot who just wants more.
>safety feature
This isn't a safety feature, no matter what Apple says.
No permanent damage will be done to the phone by a degraded battery, it will not explode just because it is degraded. The phone turns itself off when the voltage from the battery gets too low, so there's no worry about sudden power loss causing data loss.
