Samsung throttled their phones from the start, for the same reason, but would increase CPU speeds to cheat at benchmark tests and lie about the capabilities of their phones. Where are the lame memes regarding them?

Who the hell is talking about Samsung? We all know Samsung enshittifies in different ways to Apple. I know it's easier to pretend that all criticism comes from Samsung fanboys but the reason Apple gets it is 1) because it's the most successful and most prominently greedy phone manufacturer and 2) because of how annoyingly cultish their consumers are.

This was a measure to make phones keep working longer instead of forcing folks to buy a new one.

Source: apple says so (but only once they were pressured for years). No conflict of interest there.
