Apple saved millions of users from random shutdown? Shutdowns on iPhone 7s or iPhone 6s, which are just over a year old? How nice of them. But since you are obviously avoiding some arguments in this discussions because it would deflect from your self painted Good-Guys-Apple World too much and are trying overly hard to be obtuse, I repost again the following, since you avoided/ignored it the last time:
I come back to the what is done is done part: Apple has been designing and engineering mobile devices for decades now. Lithium battery technology has a few years under is belt, too. One has to assume gross incompetence (if not malicious intent) on Apple's side to design a device that throttling would be required only after months or just over a year of usage. Battery quality (density, capacity, degradation) are pretty much know factors. Apple is not new to this game.
But still, giving the benefit of a doubt: now to assume more incompetence or oversight when Apple's engineering department implementing a hot fix, realising that the batteries are degrading quicker than anyone thought without informing the Geniuses for a long period (someone mentioned over a year), is not exactly painting a confidence inspiring light on Apple.
