This is just great, and you see why it's so hard to be a product manufacturer.

Not only does the person not understand why it was done, and that it produced a phone that would be functional for longer lifetime than if it hadn't been implement, but he also continues spreading unhelpful information to others.

They were forced to pay that for not saying that they were doing it.

The feature still exists today. The brand new iPhone 12 will do the same thing on a degraded battery.

That doesn't mean the penalty made sense.
