Where did I lie? Apple was hit with a $500 million fine for nothing?

I'm not an Apple hater by any means. I understand they had their technical reasons, I was just pointing out the dichotomy between their perceived willingness to support older models and the lawsuit that says they are slowing them down.

Right here:

>This seems like an odd thing to say about a company that was caught purposefully slowing down older models <END>

That is a half truth and considered lying through omission. It's misleading because as written it implies that they slowed down phones without a valid reason, AKA to force upgrades.
