I responded to his nonsense claims with strong evidence and he kill filtered me. :)

Specifically it was about iOS security. He insisted that iOS users are at no less risk than Android users in terms of exploits and attacks. I showed MANY studies and the like which showed otherwise. He ran away crying.

So be it.

Of course you responded, Brock.
You respond to pretty much every message so you can troll
and disrupt an otherwise decent group. Why don't you find
another hobby to keep yourself busy? Stamp collecting
might be a good match for you.

Answer: Yes!

From Newsgroup: misc.phone.mobile.iphone

Other than the usual few loud-mouthed whiners (most of whom it wasn't
actually a problem for), nobody notice nor cared.

Thank you for your assessment that "nobody nogticed nor cared" about
Apple's actions being fleshed out for review in this newsgroup today.

To be clear, Apple did not face 'just a handful' of complaints.

Multiple government regulators and multiple court systems in multiple countries concluded that Apple had misled consumers about the performance impact of iOS 10.2.1 and later updates. Apple then paid large penalties
and entered large settlements.

These are not opinions.
They are formal legal outcomes.

1. United States class action settlement
title
<https://legalclarity.org/apple-inc-device-performance-litigation-settlement/>
The legal dispute concerning Apple's iPhone performance management
practices, known as Batterygate, resulted in a major class action
settlement.

This page confirms that Apple agreed to a nationwide settlement worth up
to 500 million dollars. Apple did not admit wrongdoing but paid the
settlement after court approval.

2. United States settlement details page
title
<https://legalclarity.org/apple-device-performance-litigation-settlement-details/>
This consumer class action litigation addresses claims that Apple, Inc.
interfered with the operation of older devices by intentionally reducing
performance.

This page confirms that the litigation centered on iOS 10.2.1 and later
updates and that Apple settled the case.

3. Italy regulatory action
title
<https://www.techbloat.com/apple-italia-has-been-compelled-to-post-an-advisory-statement-regarding-iphone-throttling.html>
Apple Italia has been compelled to disseminate an advisory statement
about iPhone throttling.

This page confirms that Italian regulators forced Apple Italia to publish
an advisory statement due to nondisclosure of throttling behavior.

4. France and Italy context summary
title
<https://umatechnology.org/apple-italia-has-been-compelled-to-post-an-advisory-statement-regarding-iphone-throttling/>
Apple Italia has been compelled to disseminate an advisory statement
about iPhone throttling.

This page repeats the Italian enforcement action and places it in the
broader context of European regulatory pressure.

5. Canada and global consumer claims context
title
<https://jointheclaim.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-apple-iphone-consumer-protection-claim/>
Investigations revealed that Apple had implemented a power management
feature to prevent unexpected shutdowns in older iPhones with degraded
batteries. However, this throttling was not disclosed to users.

This page confirms that the same nondisclosure issue led to consumer
claims in multiple countries including Canada.

6. United States settlement payment reporting
title
<https://www.nextgenphone.co.uk/apple-set-to-disburse-payments-in-500m-lawsuit-over-batterygate-iphone-throttling/>
"Apple is set to distribute a 500 million dollar settlement among
participants in a class action lawsuit from 2020."

This page confirms that the settlement is active and payments are being
disbursed.

Summary
i. Multiple courts approved class action settlements in the United States
and Canada.
ii. Multiple regulators in Europe forced Apple to pay fines or publish
corrective statements.
iii. All actions stem from Apple introducing performance management in iOS
10.2.1 without clear disclosure.
iv. These outcomes contradict the claim that only a few people noticed or
cared.
