      It’s true, they just get nerfed into planned obsolesce which causes the company to get sued.

          Oh I’m aware. Apple set the trend just like they did with the pricing of non Apple devices.

            We’re really not gonna devolve into “Apple is to blame for everything other manufacturers do” argument are we? These companies blow - but blaming one to excuse the others is nutty.

              You’re right. Apple charging $1000 dollars for a device had no bearing on capitalism’s way of setting prices based on what consumers are willing to pay… Look up ultrabooks.

        They then fixed the issue and are now more transparent about the health of your battery than many Android manufacturers. While “battery gate” had been a problem for a little while around 2017, it hasn’t been in more than 7 years. Old iPhones last a very long time these days and warn you if your battery is degraded to a point where it’ll affect the usability of your iPhone.
