Don't take this stuff lying down. The only way for your voice to be heard is by saying "no" to this company by returning your phones. Put a nastygram in the return box, too.

I love my phone. I have no intention of returning it over this non scandal.
Keeping mine. Loving it....
Keeping mine. No issues with this. I know Apple was doing this from the start so I know what I’m getting.
So You're suggesting that the consumer should return their iPhones that they own to Apple with a derogatory note included? I'm not following your logic here.
Or, somebody could simply purchase another phone if they wanted to from a different competitor, because they're not obligated to support Apple if they don't want to.
I don't see this movement gathering much steam.
I think this is a great program to throttle rather than let phone destroy your data and phone.
Make me much more likely to to buy more Apple.

LOL. And go to android....? NO THANK YOU!
I'll make my voice heard right here.
I have an amazing iPhone X and an iPad Air 2 on iOS 11 that still runs great. Both devices perform exactly as I expect- the iPhone X is smooth as butter and the Air 2 is surprisingly responsive for a device that's three generations behind.
I hope Apple will begin to inform users if their devices have batteries that no longer handle intense power loads, but it's not some huge conspiracy like some make it out to be.

Bye Felisha.
Eh. I replace my phones every three years, so end-of-life phone (to me), no issue with software throttling my device if the battery is in sad shape. Not that I tax the phone that much (read: play games), so, rather have the software stretch the battery life vs gonads to the wall performance for making calls, email, web, podcasts and a dead battery after only a few hours.

I've been pleased with every iPhone purchase I've made so far. No performance or battery issues.
Lol. Sure as soon as the Samsung Galaxy S9+ comes out my rage will be unmatched. Lol.
What I don’t understand is why Apple implements this in a later iOS.
If they’re all about it why not implement it in the shipping version ios with new hardware?
People who don’t update iOS down the road to get this “feature” could
Possibly be SOL?

Yes what Apple is doing is dirty. But there is no alternative, unless you want to go to data sucking, privacy stealing, malware infested Android. I certainly don't.
It really does. I'd love to see viable alternatives. Sad to see Windows Phone and Blackberry 10 disappear.
I just bought an unlocked 256gb iPhone X with AC+ in honor of the OP. And I already have an X!
This is a joke right? I like to think with my own brain...not from someone just telling me what to do!
I have used android phones as recently as the S8 and I’m not interested in going that route.
But we did buy another iPhone 8 and another iPhone X since the story broke. Merry Christmas to my kids.
Sorry to disagree with you but, my 6S has performed flawlessly over 2+ years and I’ll be adding the X to the stable very soon...
Samsung phones throttle my interest in Samsung phones.
