Yep, all batteries degrade with time and use.

exactly the point.

Classic Apple Apologists distort reason because facts shake their belief

Saying all batteries degrade with time and use is correct, but only Apple
iPhone batteries consistently fail within a year such that CPU speeds need
to be halved to "prolong the life of the iPhone".

The Apple Apologists are making an analogy akin to saying all people age
and die, so what does it matter if a huge number of them die within a year.

"If Apple were serious about battery life, they+IBk-d market battery
replacements," instead of fighting the government to prevent
the consumer from easily replacing the battery themselves.
