Apparently Apple cleverly *manipulated* the release notes, *after* the
fact!

"The feature was not mentioned in the release notes accompanying
the update, but Apple quietly revised the notes to include a
line about "power management" at some point *after* the update
was released."

"Even an Apple user who was paying attention would not have known about
the feature had they downloaded the update ... after it was available."

"There was no mention of the CPU throttling feature or "power management"
included with the release notes that accompanied the software update on
January 23."

"Release notes associated with the software update, quietly revised on
Apple's website *after* the software's release, *now* mention
'power management during peak workloads.'"

"A screenshot of the release notes from an iPhone, [are] different
from the notes *now* listed on Apple's website."

"Blog posts from 9to5Mac and MacRumors at the time also say that
the release notes ... didn't mention power management."

"[By] February 23...the feature was already on 'over 50% of active
iOS devices'"

"In December, Apple said that it "extended" the CPU-throttling feature
to the iPhone 7, which is a newer model of device than the iPhones
that were experiencing the shutdown issue that Cook was talking
about. However, the release notes for that update did not mention
a power management feature, either."

"Apple kept [this] information from consumers for quite some time,
[Apple] didn't reveal the fact that the rollout of a new operating
system was going to have the effect of dropping back phones."

He needs to wallow in the former, and is incapable of the latter.

He's an Android/Linux zealot who incessantly trolls the Apple
newsgroups. Apple posters don't want anything to do with him either.

Apple just canceled the iPhone X.

Apple Leak Reveals Sudden iPhone X Cancellation
https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2018/01/21/apple-iphone-x-buy-sales-specs-new-iphone-release-date/

"It may be the smartphone of the moment, but a new leak reveals
will soon cancel the iPhone X. And the source could not be more
credible."

"Acclaimed KGI Securities' analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says disappointing
sales of the iPhone X will lead to the cancellation of the model
"with production ceasing in the summer". This would be the first
time Apple has cancelled an iPhone model after just one generation
since the iPhone 5C in 2014."

Also, Tim Cook is currently caught in a bunch of outright lies.

"Apple's Reasoning Still Doesn't Add Up"
"Apple's Transparency Still Sucks"

"Apple's Reasoning Still Doesn't Add Up"
"The company blames the natural degradation of lithium-ion batteries,
without addressing why rivals state such measures are unnecessary.
Samsung in particular reiterated to me it can retain 95% lithium-ion
battery capacity for at least two years."

"Apple also hasn't explained why the first six generations of iPhones
were unaffected (even the 2007 original iPhone had a 1400 mAh
lithium-ion battery) or why "protective" stability measures weren't
required in the first nine generations of iOS (throttling began with
the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S in iOS 10.2.1, released in January 2017)."

"Apple's Transparency Still Sucks"
"Let's be frank, for all Tim Cook's claims of transparency moving
forward, the only reason Apple is doing any of this is because it
was caught out. Furthermore, in speaking to ABC, Cook appears to
be rewriting history".

NOTE: It has been proven the "power management" part was added way
*later* to the original January release notes, and *never* to the
iPhone 7 release notes.

"It was no better one year later either. When Apple launched iOS 11.2
in December 2017, the update added potential performance throttling
for the iPhone 7. The iOS 11.2 release notes said: "iOS 11.2 introduces

"Yes Tim, this could've been clearer."

"For those who bought an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X last

owners, but it's equally big for Apple because - done right - it

=== === === Quoted verbatim from that thread: === === ===
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/02/technology/apple-iphone-lawsuit-settlement.html

Quote: "Eligible devices include any iPhone 6, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus and
SE that ran iOS 10.2.1 or later, or any iPhone 7 or 7 Plus that ran iOS
11.2 or later. Eligible customers had to live in the United States, and
their devices had to run the given software before Dec. 21, 2017."

This is the thread that broke the news of Apple's secret, drastic, and
permanent CPU throttling due to inherently poor power-management design...
o *Report says Apple 'Powerd' code secretly slows your iOS device down to
trick you into buying a new device*
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/GdEtzzrc9F0/z57KTsmWAQAJ

See also this thread where Apple publicly admitted to the crime of
intentionally secretly lowering the life of essentially the same set of
iPhones: https://i.postimg.cc/BQZ9hZg1/crime00.jpg
o *Apple agrees to pay 25 million euros fine as Apple admits "Apple
committed the crime of deceptive commercial practice by omission"*
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/l6gAjvW6aqQ

See also this thread, where JF Mezei seems to be updating as news comes in:
o *Quebec class action goes ahead (battery gate)*
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/jmDdZewelrk

Bear in mind, Apple essentially lied to Congress (as in "I didn't inhale")
when they said in their coverup that iPhone throttling wasn't "as"
necessary on the later phones, where, the facts prove Apple added
throttling in _every_ subsequent iOS release since!
o *Every iPhone CPU from the iPhone 6 to iPhone 7 were throttled, then
iPhone 8 to iPhone X were throttled & now the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max &
iPhone XR get throttling software*
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/Mzh1IvniDr8

In addition, Apple clearly lied in their subsequent coverup, with respect
to the fact they secretly modified the release notes well _after_ the fact.
o *Evidence Apple cleverly manipulated iOS release notes on "power
management" after the fact*
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/KXhivHMvrlY/OuV1lgS8AgAJ

Given the speeds were secretly cut in _half_ by Apple...
o Apple throttled your iPhone by cutting its speed almost in HALF!
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/l79Xb6qx8Fs/08j5ImhABQAJ

And given that Apple's design causes premature replacement of millions of
batteries yearly...
o *FACTS: Apple replaced 11 million batteries last year (normal replacement
is ~1.5 million batteries per year)*
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/8Vica_VqdT4/TzFfpZqVBwAJ

How is prematurely replacing millions of batteries yearly a good thing for
the environment?
o *All new iPhones might be forced to have a removable battery (Android
too)*
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/4Ja4FP5eL5s

How is intentionally shortening iPhone life good for the environment?
