Re: The plaintiffs stand a decent chance of losing
"I for one would prefer the Apple approach to the scr*w them approach from Android".
My 18 month old iPhone has a maximum battery capacity of 91% so should be fairly healthy. However a few months ago an app played up and the phone restarted. Afterwards I got the new battery throttling message. I've disabled the throttling because I don't want the performance of my phone retarded and I have had no problems with the phone since so does my phone have a battery issue or not?
It does make Apple's solution look, at best, like a knee jerk reaction. "Phone restarts once - lets reduce performance". If they throttled performance if the phone rebooted due to a power surge every day for a week then fair enough but to cripple the phone after one badly behaved app caused a reboot seems extreme unless it is simply to force users to upgrade.
