It should be forbidden by law.

Next we're going to get a subscription fee to unlock the full potential of our phone batteries. But if we don't pay, at least we'll have 50% of the battery ๐Ÿคฎ

Look, just go buy a different phone if you don't like it. Doing it this way subsidizes the price for those that don't need the extra battery size. Plus studies have shown it's actually good for the battery!

/s in case that wasn't obvious

Every company is doing it. Old batteries throttle so they donโ€™t just cut out on you. I wish people would actually learn about how this stuff works before APPLE BADing, but hey. I canโ€™t expect that much from the internet.

But since it's not, don't buy anything from those companies.
