      The questionable OS update went out on Halloween in 2016 as an update to iOS 10, then the shit storm began, that battery replacement program started, etc.

      iOS 11 allowed people be notified about battery health problems and chose whether or not they wanted to throttle their CPU to preserve runtime.

      No, those are just generic anti Apple conspiracy theories.

      This all started with a bad batch of batteries in the iphone 6 or 6s.
