It shouldnโ€™t have been done secretly but it wasnโ€™t a conspiracy to sell more iPhones

If they weren't trying to sell more phones they'd have given you a notification with instructions to replace the battery and designed it in a way that a person with no special skills could do so instead of just crippling the device.

    I mean, yeah, I said they should've told people, that was a bad decision on their part. I'm just saying if it was a conspiracy to sell more iPhones, it was a dumb one, because the net effect was to make the phone more usable. It wasn't crippled, certainly not more than "this thing just shuts down when the camera is opened sometimes."
