    It’s all the comments. I don’t know what else to expect from the forum of macrumors.com.

    I think they don’t understand or don’t want to understand the real issue. The problem is not that batteries degrade and Apple throttles the phone to protect electronics. The problem is that batteries are designed to degrade, are not replaceable, and Apple profits from this by having you buy new phones.

    Shameless plug of Fairphone here. I am not buying any headphones that are not from them any more. The sound is great, at least for me (I am no connoisseur), the whole thing works OK. But when one of the straps broke, I didn’t have to buy a new thing, I just needed to unscrew two screws, pull out and USB-C cable and put the new thing I bought for 10 bucks in.
