Re: Apple agrees to settle class action in US over throttling- $500M.

The facts show you'd be hard pressed to find any mobile device more poorly
designed than the bulk of today's iPhones...

Simply because most iPhones _require_ throttling just to prevent them from
prematurely being unstable.

You get the unenviable choice:
a. *CHOOSE UNACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE*, or, 
b. *CHOOSE UNACCEPTABLE STABILITY*

You must choose one.

Verbatim, because apologists hate facts, so they deny any and all facts
they simply _hate_ about Apple products (which is a hell of a lot of facts)

 "Apple 'fully understood' that by concealing the issues, it could spend a
  year profiting off of people who thought they needed to buy a new iPhone,  
  when they only really needed to replace their phone's battery 
  to avoid [premature] throttling or unexpected [premature] shutdowns."

o Apple will pay $113 million for throttling iPhones
