They found a way to cover up an ongoing design flaw in the phone/battery capacity combination. The phones are too powerful for the batteries that Apple uses.

Almost no other line of phones has this issue.

It is amazing how people twist this situation to make Apple the hero for saving "old" phones.

That's FUD.

The phones absolutely did not behave like that when new. And, if the battery is replaced, they go back to their original performance.
