No, it was pretty straight forward. Which is why they lost the suit.

Sure. They should have been upfront about it, and they should have offered a switch to disable the behaviour. They were rightly punished for it.

But if we’re going to be correct about things, it was phone speed that took a hit, not battery life.

[fartcannon]

Sure, still, planned obsolescence.

I’d probably agree with you were it not for the fact that the “planned obsolescence” happened 18 months after the release of the iPhone 6S, but they then went on to give it a further 5.5 years of software updates. Maybe someone at Apple didn’t get the message?

[fartcannon]

Well they got sued for using planned obsolescence and lost. So theres not much to argue about, is there?

[deadlocked]

A cursory search would tell you that they didn’t lose anything.
