That is absolutely false. They didn't try to coerce people to buy the new model. It's quite the contrary - they were extending the battery life of devices where the overdrawn power would cause them to shut down completely. They also communicated this in the patch notes but most people don't read those.

Your comment is completely ignorant.

Apple still got fined millions in France for doing that.

They did not. They did get fined in France but not for what you're claiming.
