Good. Apple deserves it.
Now I wish governments would go after Intel for their security debacle which has a bigger and more important impact that will last for years.

Great, another uneducated armchair commentator who thinks he knows everything and makes asinine comments pushing forward a pitchfork agenda against Apple... Getting sick of seeing this stupid BS online...

It's not stupid bullshit. It was made deliberately to sell more phones and there was no communication to us or Apple store workers to handle this in the right way when your phone gets slow. Nobody knew this was because of old battery. I still don't believe it's just because of the old battery. I have replaced mine. The settings do not show warning of crippled battery, but the phone is still utterly slow. Nothing like first two years when I bought it. And don't shit me it's the apps thing. I have the same apps from the day I bought my iPhone 6. 

Get ok with it. Apple screwed up big time here and it's time to pay back.

I wonder what would be your and other fanboy alike comments if this was Samsung case?!? You would probably shit all over Samsung for it... Grow up kids. Apple make great products, but their quality is very questionable in recent years. It's not just #throttlegate. Also premium priced iPhoneX doesn't feel that premium at all and it's full of usability quirks. For the most expensive product in it's niche you would not expect that.

There should be more pressure on Apple. They need to step up their game and improve!

This flaw has been in the chips since the mid 90's.  These recent Apple patches are only applicable to fairly recent devices.  What about those of us who still have lots of older hardware in daily use?  I have a lot of very usable hardware that is unable to run the latest Mac OS / IOS.  I'm confident I'm not the only one.  Not pleased with this solution since I cannot use it on all my hardware.

These lawsuits are total BS and AppleInsider should stop giving them such prominence. Especially with comments from people who think Apple should be producing a flip phone with a pop-out battery.

Users are unlikely to notice slowdowns - but artificial benchmarks will show issues and only with phones will degraded batteries. I would MUCH rather my phone slowed down bit than suddenly "quit". 

The slow-down is very noticeable. To the point of frustration. If you have no knowledge of this subject maybe you shouldn't post comments.
