It was back in 2017 that Apple settled $117M lawsuit for slowing down phones. Their claim was that it was to prevent the aging batteries from shutting down the phone. Riiiiiiggghhhttt. I’m sure they still do it. It’s no different from any other company doing shady things to make more money. EVERY large corporation we deal with on a daily basis is shady and deceitful. You’re only fooling yourself if you don’t think so. I upgrade every 2-4 years anyway so what do I care.
