    You pay for them when they slow down your hardware

        This.

        The only negative thing about the whole situation was that Apple didn’t publicize it, not that they throttled the devices.

        Get a new battery for it and the thing works just fine.

            Good luck with what? Replacing a battery at home is not that difficult on an iPhone, and it’s fairly cheap without AppleCare if you just go to an Apple Store. Covered if you have it.

              Here in Sweden you can just go to partners too. Replacing the battery on my XS cost $50 or so.

              I recall new batteries for my old 3330 going for like $25 back in the day so I don’t get the big honestly.

              Yea, and if we are talking about MacBooks it’s ridiculously easy to do. Not sure what the whole “can’t replace the battery” thing is about.
