Guaranteed Apple will have code that says:
If phone > 2 years old:
Slow down phone
If battery changed:
Slow down phone
Etc
They'll still make you buy a new phone. Don't you worry about that.

If they didn't do that, the phones would have randomly shut off as the voltage dropped. Their misstep was not telling people about it.

Apples a corporation that only exists to generate profit, they definitely suck as much as every other corporation, but the ‘Apple slowed down phones to make people upgrade’ thing is so braindead that it hurts.
