The other problem is they didn't give a choice to users. If I recognise I'm only going to keep my phone for another 6 months then I might prefer to just run the risk of a failure while maintaining high CPU function when the battery has sufficient charge.

And of course it wasn't really a safety issue it wasn't dangerous for the device to fail it was minorly irritating you just start the device again. So they basically made a unilateral decision on everyone's behalf without asking anybody or telling them what they had done.

Apple got sued for lack of communication essentially.
