Wait, are some of you people really this naive? Did you guys actually believe 🍏 reasoning? They even started reasoning that way after getting caught.

“Hey guys, let’s slow down every iPhone substantially so the newest one looks incredibly fast (even tho we use nearly the same hardware), so buyers have more of a reason to buy the newest iPhone.” - basically planned obsolescence.

OR

“Hey guys, let’s slow down every iPhone substantially (except the newest one for w/e reason), so that the life expectancy of every iPhone rises substantially and people don’t have to buy new iPhones in the years to come.”

Like c’mon guys.
