So, people are going crazy about Apple improving stability on older phones when the battery needs to be replaced at the expense of (speed) performance, and that decrease in performance is restored when the battery is replaced (and now at a significantly reduced cost). I don't get the outrage.
Because they did so without telling anyone that they were doing it and iirc, denied doing so. Once they were exposed, they explained why, but it seems very convenient.
If you're going to do this and claim it's not in an effort to make people buy a new phone, or at the very least a new battery, then why not inform people of the feature, and provide ways for the consumer to actually see the health of their battery?
