That may have been their public explanation after being caught throttling the hardware.

You just need to look at the evidence:

* Only handsets with degraded batteries were throttled

* Replacing the battery returned the handset to full speed

* The only thing that changed after the fine was that you now have an option to stop the throttling and have unexpected reboots instead.

* All iPhones since then, including brand new iPhone 12s will throttle when the battery degrades.
