content: Most battery powered devices work just fine at a range of voltages.  Why is the iPhone range more narrow (and thus the device/battery has a shorter lifespan) than m  45f3  ost phones?  After such a critical flaw is discovered, why are they still insisting on non-removable batteries?    Make excuses all you like, the phones are still anti-consumer.  From the non-replaceable battery to the slowdown and now this rejection of non-apple branded parts.  Own up to either their engineering being shitty (and thus they have to compensate via software updates crippling phones), their brand protection too overzealous (not taking the risk that some users would have glitches), or their marketing strategy is viciously anti-consumer (designed to fail, aka planned obsolescence). Stop making excuses.
