Remind me, was the slowdown communicated in any meaningful way, and were the affected users directed to service their phones at the nearest apple store?

'Hey, there's an issue with your battery so we've slowed down your phone to prevent it going off. Please visit your local apple store to address this.' As opposed to misleading them that their phones are old and slow/crashing and they need to buy new ones?
