I get a sense those people think that they shouldn’t have had to make that choice, that either the batteries shouldn’t have degraded or the phone shouldn’t have needed that much power to maintain peak performance.While I totally understand why people would be angry that their devices were slowed down without their permission.... I do find it hard to reconcile how they would have preferred to have a phone that didn't last all day and probably leave them stranded versus one that was slightly slower and kept them connected.
However I think it will be a challenge to argue in court that Apple should have defied the laws of physics.
The only successful lawsuit I can see happening is in relation to Apple’s response to what it did rather than what it did.
