The average Joe doesn't know about the bluetooth and wifi control center
[...]
secretive about it and only admitted to doing so once caught red-handed tells you everything you need to know...
I’m going to go ahead and say the following:
Bluetooth and WiFi are different. How so? It’s either on or off, or rather now it doesn’t connect for 24hrs or it does. Nothing technical there. Like a light switch.
In this case, choose whether to throttle or not your CPU due to battery wear and tear is different. What if your battery is already within a 1.5 year age at which it only retains 60% of the original charge? How would a user know that 60% is a good number to start using throttling? By reading guides? No. Most people, again not all, will not read up on guides regarding batteries.
Hell, many customers do not even read the manuals of their devices. Point being many tips and tricks threads here that post the exact same information found in either the iPhone pamphlet that came in the box or the Tips App in the iPhone/iPad.
Steve knew this, and that is why he obsessed with Apple having control of everything and leaving OS controls out of the user’s hands. Point being the new way of closing apps when multitasking was introduced. Before, when other mobile OSes had to close an app, you had to close the app and services related to it. But careful if you closed the wrong process! You might make your OS unstable. This is just an example.
Batteries are complex, and having throttling of CPUs to alíviate any potential charge issues is welcomed.
However, being shady as f**k about it is
not ok. You tell your customer why you are doing his and how to resolve it. Like I said earlier. I’m sure many would have gladly paid $79 for a new battery instead of a new iPhone. However, that hurts the bottom line now does it?

Repeated threads about the same thing don't do that. Since anyone who has made it to fouls like this one certainly can't miss any of that and more than likely already know that without new threads about the same things appearing.
And it's getting harder to find threads about something else when new threads relating the same discussions keep on popping up and various existing ones getting taken down the same path. It's not about not liking to hear about it, it's about not needing to hear the same thing over and over in new threads when existing discussions about those things are already happening and then the same discussions end up happening over again without anything new surfacing and mostly between the same people without much of anything useful.
Bear in mind, this is not about the original lawsuits filed in MR’s original report. But rather a new class action that seeks $1 Trillion for all plaintiffs.
