    Admitted to intentionally causing batteries to drain faster?

    I’m sure you have a link to an official Apple statement that proves the claim.

      My memory failed me, it was actually intentionally making your phone slower and less performant in phones of the previous generations: https://support.apple.com/en-us/101575

      But the result is the same. Upgrade or we’ll make your phone awful to use. In that statement, they are really trying to make it sound like it’s a good thing for the user, but up until they started doing that, batteries not “supplying enough peak power” was never an issue, and isn’t an issue on any android phone. I had friends with iPhones that were 5 years old that worked perfectly fine before the update, that basically became unusable after the software update.
