Italy investigates Samsung and Apple for intentionally slowing down phones

So its bad enough their high end phones cost £600 to £1000,have QC/QA issues and use cheap components,but don't expect a decent lifespan out of them either:

This is what happens when people just buy these companies products without examining what they are selling you,and they end up treating their customers like sheep with no respect.

If batteries degrade, they must be considered user replaceable unless it's clearly marked what the intended life of the product is.

I've not entered into the premium phone market , xiaomi redmi do it for me and I put it in a case with a film over the display, even though they have sealed cases, 18mth+ seems to work fine for them being charged each day , and when they beak [smashed screens] just get a new one ..... the tech has moved on by then ....
