1. What's your complaint?
2. Why are you posting to an iPhone newsgroup?

I have purchased *plenty* of iOS devices, and I support rickman and even
Carlos E.R. for *caring* about what Apple does to their customers.

Even if we didn't own iOS devices, we know people who do, whom we care
about.

The US Government technical committee recently said they care about what
Apple did to its customers in that they asked Apple to answer the same 8
questions we *all* have.
Sen. John Thune asks Apple CEO Tim Cook the same questions we would.

You don't have to literally own an iOS device to care that Apple is ****ing
its customers up the ass.

"If Apple were serious about battery life, they'd market battery
replacements," Gay Gordon-Byrne, executive director of Repair.org,
told me in an email. "Apple clearly has a big financial benefit
when people decide their phones are too slow and head to the
Apple Store for a new phone."

"Apple is consistently doing things like this without the consent
of their customers," Oberdick said. "It's always a move that makes
the consumer who is not informed or technologically savvy replace
their phone."

The problem with you half-dozen or so fundamentalist Apple Apologists is
that facts shake the very core of your fact-free religiously fundamentalist
belief system about Apple behavior:
