[quote]Apple has said that it did this to "prolong the life" of the devices and maximise diminishing battery power.[/quote] Bullshit, it's to get people to move onto the newer models because they'll be faster.
Good, they deserve it and so does any other company that does this. (also I finally have proof that Apple does this despite people telling me "no they couldn't possibly do that" for years)
If it was to "prolong the life of the devices" they would have made it a known and noted info in the first place, but of course they justify it once people have noticed it.

After a year of censoring posts on their support forums detailing the specifics on what causes touch disease (design flaw in the M1 trace underneath the Meson touch controller), Apple finally came out and acknowledged it as a problem but didn't call it a defect. They started a "replacement program" in which you bring them your afflicted phone, pay them $150, and they hand you back a refurbished 6 Plus with the same defect and no data transfer. That's nice product support, isn't it?
