According to this they did...Seems fair, but Apple didnt let us know that a degraded battery was the reason for throttling, they did not even say they were throttling until after they were pushed.
I would have replaced the battery and kept using my day before ios update fast phone. Instead I got a new one.
As I keep asking, why inform the customer of degraded batteries on the Mac but not on the phone?

I must admit, I wouldn’t have thought to look there and I agree a similar message like on the laptops would be useful. But it seems that they do, and also that they told people that they power manage it in that situation...And reducing power has the effect of underclocking, or throttling as people seem to be calling it.
But sure enough, nobody pays attention to release notes
