Apple got grief because the processor can work at full speed even without a battery and works very well on Linux, but Apple chose to throttle back on OSX.

You mean when it's plugged into the wall? I mean sure yeah, but Apple would probably argue that that would degrade the function of your mobile phone. I don't think that line of reasoning would really work in court.

Also OS X is desktop/laptop, iOS is smartphone.
