I never said “degraded battery is never a cause” of slow iPhones. Over and over again, I’ve said the exact opposite. I have no idea why you can’t understand.The logic you showed is incredible.
Just because there are other causes doesn’t mean the degraded battery is never a cause itself.
New batteries fix the throttlng problem but not the others, so it means throttling is not a problem? Are you listening to yourself?
Either you don’t understand this simple thing at all or you might be the best Apple apologist ever, even better than John Gruber & Rene Ritchie. Either way, I’ll ignore you and save my time.
I’ll say it again, maybe it will help.
Not every slow iPhone is due to a degraded battery. Some are, some aren’t. Some have a new battery and perfect geekbench.
That is the opposite of “degraded battery is never a cause”. Those are your words, not mine. I’ve never said “throttling isn’t a problem”. I’m saying the exact opposite of what you claim I’m saying.
Stop putting words in my mouth and read what I’m actually writing.
