Nothing about feelings was mentioned in the post that it was all in reply to. Certainly plenty of all kinds of issues (including battery ones) discussed in iOS 9 (and earlier) days.

Apple Says iOS 10.2.1 Update Has Significantly Reduced Unexpected iPhone 6 and 6s Shutdowns [Updated]

Whoever said that 9.3.5 would reduce those issues by 100%, essentially reported a 'felt 100%', ie, judging from the lack of reports about such battery issues under iOS 9 this person came across, it felt like 100% of iPhones had been free of this issue.
If Apple were to make good products....oh wait...
Since your brought up declining market share, I'll bring up revenue. As far as abusive pricing, why are you buying their products? And there are switchers on both sides.
And the contestants say, let's name a product without an manufacturing issues at all from other companies as well? It's easy to play a game like that, it's a "hot" topic that's making a "splash".

But there have been battery issues reported under iOS 9. And, again, the way the post was worded was certainly some ways off from anything related to "feelings".
Yes you will because that is your only argument... I see it reflects overpriced products at way too high margins fueled by fans , that will change. It always amazes me apl fans will defend apl by proudly crowing ... "See that graph they overcharged us fans so much that that they make utmost revenues and with every service and accessory too..is that not awesome!"
LOL
Yes, like declining market share is your only argument.
You can't use the last record breaker as a means to disparage apple, as people are buying the products in spite of your opinion of "over priced" and "over charged". Your "opinions" clearly do not resonate with the tens of millions of apple customers.You misunderstand me. The person who brought that 100% presented it as a fact. But it was not a fact. For once, there is no data-based statistic on this, moreover there are certainly some reports to the contrary.
When you think that or when you are under the impression that something is true, based on anecdotal reports (or the lack thereof) as well as an unreliable memory regarding those anecdotal reports (or the lack of it), it might feel like a fact to you. Being under the impression, thinking that it is true, or it feeling like a fact, are all different words to express the same thing. If you think something is a fact, if you believe your memory, you don't think you are lying when you present it as a fact. It 'feels' like a fact to you.
"feeling like a fact" is not the same as "being a fact". "Feeling like a fact" is an opinion.
No, 'feeling like a fact' is when a person honestly thinks it is a fact even though should be able to realise that it is not a fact. When you are saying something that is not true but you are convinced that it is true, you are not lying because your mind is sending you the same signals that it would send you on something you have seen the proof that it is true. 'Mind sending you signals' is a fancier term for 'it feels like'."feeling like a fact" is not the same as "being a fact". "Feeling like a fact" is an opinion.
A "fact" can be proven with a some methodology. One can state something honestly in error, but that doesn't make it a "fact". It makes it an "error".
No i didn't (present it as a fact). It was an emotional rant about Apple forcing to upgrade to new iOS versions despite the issues present. When I state facts, I give references.
This is why I only upgrade hardware, not software. Keep the software version that came on your phone and only upgrade when you upgrade your phone.
Apple isn't exactly forcing you to upgrade, it's nudging you.
So your position appears to be that it is ok to exaggerate to make a deeper point? And that we should assume that every statement without a source is not a fact?
While I am all for providing sources, you know full well that it is impossible to have a conversation if every statement has to come with a source. You know what I would find a better model? To qualify statements when there is some uncertainty. You could have said: 'There were far less reports about phone shutdowns under iOS 9'.
Yesterday, my phone died while somewhat cold at 9% (rewarming it started it back up). That is not perfect but a big improvement.
I'm curious did this software update really fix those who were having problems with their 6 and 6s shutting down?
I remember these same symptoms sounded a lot like when my iPhone 5 had shut downs but it was determined to be a batch of faulty batteries. So how can a software update fix faulty batteries? Unless this new issue with the 6 & 6s are not caused by faulty batteries. Yet why would Apple release a campaign to offer replacing the batteries and then now say it's fixed with a software update. I don't understand it.

I wouldn't call this nudging. It used to download the bloody thing every single week, and then offer me two choices: "install now" and "install tonight". I have pressed the second option accidentally once, and I presume the installation would have proceeded had I not realized my mistake. Eventually I blocked mesu.apple.com on my router. Hopefully Apple has no means of going around this.
As for exaggeration, I'm all for it. Apple is certainly no stranger to exaggerations. After all, Apple's every single product is "revolutionary". So I feel it's perfectly justified to exaggerate issues in the same way. Apple is not a customer-centric company, and online bashing appears to be the only way to make them listen to the needs of product users. Every additional voice of dissent makes them take criticism more seriously. The more exaggeration, the more dissent.
I've owned many Macs and iDevices and the iPhone 6s is the first one where I've experienced an actual issue - the unexpected shutdown. I started to happen at around 10 to 20% and then over time it got the point when it would shutdown at anytime below 50%. I am happy to report that this update seems to have resolved this. The battery life still seems to drain faster than I would expect, but at least the phone does not shutdown anytime below 50%.
Battery reports info on its status to system, system then does things, like shut down on this info or go into power saving mode.
It is possible that there were 2 simultaneous issues, bad batch of batteries for say 5% of phones produced at launch and also a software issue with IOS. Both occurring at the same time compounded the problem and made it seem worse than it actually was.
The software issue not only made it harder to find out if the scope of the hardware issue by masking it, some phones shutting down did so for software reasons, it exacerbated it, making phones with marginal batteries (but not yet failed) even worse.
As you said it 'used to'. I think it was iOS 9 when that changed to sending you semi-regular notifications (and adding a red '1' to the Settings icon.
There is a difference between using words that can have broad meanings and using numbers or absolute statements.
You know, an-eye-for-an-eye eventually leaves everybody blind. Or in this case, fighting dishonesty (by exaggerating) with even more dishonesty.
I'd agree. It's most likely how Apples adoption rate to iOS 10 is so high. Most people look at that and say, oh no I have to decide now or later tonight those are my only choices. When in reality there is not ever, I prefer to be in control of when a major update is about to take hold.
It's just like the way Microsoft did it with Windows 10. But it was possible to roll back Windows 10 unlike iOS. I'm sure a lot iOS 10 users wouldn't mind switching back if they could.
