FACTS:
o Apple swapped out ~11 million batteries while running its $29 program.
o That's about ~10 million people who "fixed" their Apple-slowed iPhones!
o That's roughly about 4% of the ~216 million iPhones sold in 2017 and an
even higher percentage of the less-than-that-number sold in 2018.
o In a normal year, Apple replaces between ~1 to ~2 million batteries.

I had forgotten to list the reference.

Since I only speak facts, here is that reference:
o *Did People Replacing their Batteries Lead to Weak iPhone Sales?*

Given that Apple iPhones take about a year to degrade, that likely means
that Apple is selling about 10 million more batteries than normal for the
conceivable future, simply by designing the flaw into their iPhones.
Nobody ever said Apple was stupid.
o They are a hugely profitable company because their user pays it
