Another example is the _unsigned_ battery "apology".
o That adults clearly comprehend was _not_ an apology!
"We know that some of you feel Apple has let you down"
"We apologize.
Astute readers will note _exactly_ what Apple apologized for.
o HINT: They apologized for your "feelings" (classic Apple!)
While _some_ took it to actually _be_ an apology:
<

"Apple isn't apologizing for a hardware glitch or a software error;
it's apologizing for a choice it consciously made."
The official "explanation" simply blames battery technology!
<

"chemical age, which is more than just the passage of time."
The result being that most iPhones are operating nowhere near their
original performance, even at this very moment in time [which is another
common trait of Apple which is to throttle performance _after_ a product
ships, but that's already the subject of another thread on that topic].
The fact remains only "most" (but not all) iOS devices require throttling:
o Older iPhones & all iPads use the _same_ battery technology for example
Facts prove no other manufacturer on the planet did what Apple did!
o Do any Android phone manufacturers throttle (CPUs, PD Charging, Modems) like Apple consistently does?

And yet, Apple, like Apple apologists, blame everyone but themselves
o For their own flaws
"All rechargeable batteries are consumable components that
become less effective as they chemically age."
Meanwhile, not only are not all iOS products throttled, but no other
manufacturer has ever felt the intense need Apple clearly did to resort to
secretly, drastically, & permanently throttle CPU speeds.

Adults will notice both Apple & Apple Apologists own similar traits.
