All the top smartphone manufacturers hit that bar, at least for their mid and high end phones. The focus on apple is misleading and weird.

This will only impact bottom barrel phones.

Exactly. Apple and Samsung phones account for 90% of the market and are exempt fro mthis bill. So just how much ewaste will it prevent?

Remember ios 10.2.1? Batterygate?

That was 10 years ago. Are there any other instances similar that are more recent?

"Remember the time Apple fixed iOS so the iPhone would run instead of crashing under low voltage conditions" remains, to me, the most inexplicable of HN's mass psychoses.

Remember that they did it secretly and denied it for ages, only to backtrack and use this excuse when it was actually proven they were slowing the devices.

Dont let the marketing spin white-wash your long term memory of an event.
