The problem is a battery engineer can't seem to explain this to people here who are ostensibly smart people, though that does somewhat go out of the window when apple is the subject it seems. How on earth could they be expected to explain this to everyone?

Everyone here understands the behaviour of the battery. At issue is the way the customer experience is handled on top of that behaviour. Pretending otherwise is simple condescension.

Apple has already fixed the problem in a satisfactory way, so presumably it wasn’t impossible after all.
