Discussion: Apple Cooperates With Gov't Inquiries Into Secret Slowdowns Of Older iPhones

Is it too soon to have a genuine discussion of Apple being Broken up?
I know that nothing would ever come of it until after the election.
The question in my mind continues to be how much more CONSUMERS will take from an Arrogant “Joe Cool” of a Corporation whose basic attitude has always been and continues to be “You’ll take what we give you, and You’ll gladly pay what we tell you for the Privilege.”
If any other business tried a scam like this, they would be up to their nostrils in lawsuits before the week was out.
The cretinous excuse offered is that consumers who carry these devices are somehow not capable of tracking their own battery power consumption is nonsensical on its face. All Apple wants is to push $1000 phones on people, with $150 Earbuds attached. Never forget for a moment that it’s all about the bottom line-MONEY.
As long as CONSUMERS are willing to bend over, why should Apple care where and how they make money, or from which orrifice their profit from Consumers is “extracted?”
