Living in a country with a proper winter everyone known that a phone more than a year old was useless in cold conditions because it just shut off and when you went inside you still had a lot of battery left. Everyone would prefer a throttling phone instead of a phone unexpectedly shutting off. When they introduced the “throttle or die swith” I wonder if anyone left the the phone in “full speed and die” mode.
That's not what the issue is, nobody is arguing with chemistry, (at least not after being informed of it), it's the dishonest way that Apple handled the situation.
We all know stuff wears out, all of us. We SHOULD all know that as things wear performance will suffer, sometimes negligibly and sometimes noticeably.
The issue is this: Imagine your brake fluid is in need of change.
When you are braking lightly in normal conditions everything seems fine.
When you are braking heavily, the fluid boils and they stop working altogether.
Your car manufacturer
quietly does an OTA update on the ECU, (the release notes say the brake by wire system will not now apply the same amount of pressure as previously which means you can still stop, just not quite as quickly).
You notice your brakes aren't as good and take it in to the dealer to complain.
After the technician has completed the assessment and diagnostic, the dealer comes out of the garage and says you need a new car, $X0000 please.............
