      hence why it feels like that, but saying its the same situation again, some people would have prefer it for the phone to randomly shut off at 1-10% battery, and there’s the other camp that would have preferred for it to be throttled to prevent non zero shut down.

      Apples mistake was both not telling people about it publicly, and not giving them a choice.

          It lost trust. It was sketchy. It was plain wrong.
