If I am reading you right...
Will you agree that a battery will become less effective over time?
if yes, then how will any phone be it apple or android "works and performance the same as it since the day i purchase the phone" (sic).
1) If they don't throttle the performance due to depleting battery life
2) they don't have to communicate anything
3) if they don't have to communicate anything, there is no "secret" to withhold
4) if they don't withhold any "secret", there's nothing to expose
5) If there's nothing to expose, there's no outcry
6) If there's no outcry do they have to make such concession?
maybe i am not very technically inclined and also don't really know the ins and out of the class action lawsuit, maybe you can enlighten me...
But what if I put it this way...
Apple planned design for the iPhone is such that the SoC will run a given speed and will not cause the phone to automatically shut down If the battery has at least 80% capacity. If it doesn't it will automatically shut down.
That's their "PLANNED" design, i.e. the phone will not shut down contingent on the battery having at least 80% capacity.
In order to circumvent the auto shut down without having to change the battery, they decided to throttle.
Consumer has a choice, either replace the battery or just let it throttle.
Not sure if there's such a phone where given the same SoC speed, the phone can last for x hours, on day 1 and Day 700.
No doubt communication could have been better. back to the Question, will you trade no reduction in price of battery replacement for no throttling?
not saying that, i am saying that my experience with Android is also such that after multiple major android update, the phone also gets laggier.
