1. What's your complaint?

I have purchased *plenty* of iOS devices, and I support rickman and even
Carlos E.R. for *caring* about what Apple does to their customers.

Even if we didn't own iOS devices, we know people who do, whom we care
about.

The US Government technical committee recently said they care about what
Apple did to its customers in that they asked Apple to answer the same 8
questions we *all* have.
Sen. John Thune asks Apple CEO Tim Cook the same questions we would.

"If Apple were serious about battery life, they'd market battery
replacements," Gay Gordon-Byrne, executive director of Repair.org,
told me in an email. "Apple clearly has a big financial benefit
when people decide their phones are too slow and head to the
Apple Store for a new phone."

"Apple is consistently doing things like this without the consent
of their customers," Oberdick said. "It's always a move that makes
the consumer who is not informed or technologically savvy replace
their phone."

The problem with you half-dozen or so fundamentalist Apple Apologists is
that facts shake the very core of your fact-free religiously fundamentalist
belief system about Apple behavior:

There are literally hundreds of references saying what I said, which is
that many of the affected iPhones degrades measurably within a year such
that Apple was forced to drastically throttle the CPU speed (to less than
half the original speeds) in order to "prolong the life of the device".

All the major Android manufacturers are on record that they don't do what
Apple did to their customers and that they never would do that to their
customers.

"Apple didn't make it clear that replacing an iPhone's battery
could resolve this issue and improve performance. The company
doesn't make it particularly easy to replace batteries, either.
And more importantly, it could have designed phones that didn't
need these guardrails just a year after their release, which
is arguably the bigger issue."

Those are quoted *facts* which have been referenced many times.

While those actual facts shake your fundamentalist belief system, they are
still facts, even if you don't like facts that don't fit into your
religious zeal.

If you feel those facts are wrong, why can't you ever provide a *single*
reliable reference that backs up your point of view?

Untrue.

You don't like the fact that many Apple iPhones greatly degrade in a year.

As a religious fundamentalist denies evolution, you outright deny any fact
that shakes the very foundation of your Apple Apologists belief system.

I provide direct quotes supporting my factual statements:
https://gizmodo.com/now-the-senate-wants-answers-about-apples-iphone-thrott-1821975549

"Apple could have also avoided this issue by designing phones with
bigger batteries that don't degrade as quickly or making it easier
to replace them. Other phone companies including HTC and Motorola
have insisted they don't throttle their phones."

Where is your direct quote supporting your fundamentalist belief system?

The more relevant part of that article is this: "Even just making it
clear to people that replacing their battery will meaningfully improve
their phone could go a long way."

In fact, this is a big advantage of the iPhone over the plethora of
Android phones where new batteries, not NOS (new-old-stock), are not
available for more than a year or two.

Few people would have been upset if a battery health monitor displayed a
message advising the owner to get a new battery to ensure top
performance. Would that have resulted in fewer new iPhone sales or would
it have caused people to upgrade rather than spend $79 on a new battery?

Because I've followed it starting with IOS 10.1 that explained what

What's odd is that the half-dozen or so Apple Apologists seem to be the

they would slow down phones permanently to about half the original speeds,
after about a year of use.

Since you are the one who originally stated "the user experience is

you. So go right ahead and prove that's the case, if you can.

The user experience is *definitely* impacted when the phones shut down.
How can you say that it doesn't impact them when their year-old device
shuts down, in cold weather especially?

What world do you Apple Apologist fundamentalists live in that has a
fundamental belief system that negates the very *huge* issue that caused
Apple to secretly, permanently, and drastically throttle CPU performance to
less than half the claimed speeds?

Still using an old iPhone 4S with its original battery. I don't use it
much. Its batttery life does suck badly (e.g., could shut it down within
30 minutes with Pokemon Go), but the key part is not to use it often and
under control. Also, I keep its cellular, backaground apps, etc. in
control. I wonder how much longer I can keep using it before replacing
it or its battery (probably not worth it since its iOS is so old, slow,
and unsupported).

There are ways to check if Apple secretly throttled the CPU on your phone.
How to check if Apple is throttling your iPhone
<http://dsniggas.net/2018/01/04/have-a-slow-iphone-how-to-check-if-apple-is-throttling-your-iphone/>

From what Apple stated, it's only the iPhone 6's and 7's, and perhaps the
8's, and X'x that appareciably degrade in about a year such that they're
forced to halve the CPU to "prolong the life of the device".

Unfortunately for Apple, most European warranties appear to be two years
for the whole device (which I believe includes the batteries).

Hence, government bodies are asking Apple some pointed questions:

<https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-french-officials-question-apple-over-iphone-battery-slowdowns-1515545073>

The governments gave Apple weeks to answer those 8 simple questions, so we
likely won't know their answer to the most important questions that
everyone would have until the deadline has arrived on January 23rd.
