    Conspiracy part of my brain wants to say thats by design… To artificially increase sales by replacing broken ones.

    Same reason they sealed up the phones so you couldnt replace the batteries/repair them.

        not everyone is bold enough to artificially slow down the phone to frustrate you into upgrading like Apple did.

            Months ago my coworker and I were joking that something similar would be a funny podcast, then we both went no. No one should ever do this….it would not end well.
