On the other hand, its lightyers better than the Android OEMs who just ignored the issue, and didn't answer the phone when your phone started bootlooping because the CPU spike during boot was too intense, and whos charging depended on the phone booting, effectively bricking your phone...
No one was reporting this when Apple's batterygate was in full swing.
Yes I am still salty about this :/. It doesn't excuse Apple's planned obsolescense shenanigans, but they are not the bad guy on this particular issue.

>Why is no one making a big fucking deal about this???
Because you can just buy a new iPhone.
If you are money conscious in this regard, you shouldn't be buying apple products in the first place.
The iPhone battery health screen (and the learn more page linked to from it) makes several mentions of how Apple's battery management system aims to reduce performance impact as the battery ages. See here: https://share.cleanshot.com/bp7PtvmZ
The way this reads it would lead you to think they are referring to processor performance but could they be referring to battery performance here?
My battery was at 87% and still displaying the Peak Performance Capability setting which clearly suggests my device should be operating at peak performance but after receiving a battery replacement it's clear the performance was being throttled.
Apple only recommends and offers a battery replacement to AppleCare+ customers when the battery capacity is below 80%.
How is this clearly misleading practice acceptable after the batterygate class action lawsuit? How many customers have been mislead to think their phone is old and slowing down when all it needs is a new battery? How many unnecessary new device purchases and extra electronic waste has this practice produced?
Whenever I've tried to search online to confirm the issue all that comes up are these useless articles and videos about little tricks and tips you can do to help here and there (clear your cache etc) but no mention that just replacing your battery solves the issue entirely.
