   Apple's clever lies are already spewing forth regarding the defective   
   iPhone 15 overheating.   
      
   Nobody can lie as openly and eloquently as Apple has publicly lied   
   in the past (you're holding it wrong & the batteries made me do it).   
      
   Well... Apple's eloquently misleading brazen public lies have begun anew...   
      
   FACTS:   
   1. Apple didn't test the iPhone 15 for overheating before selling it.   
   2. When Apple was forced to test it - Apple found _many_ causes.   
   3. Since fixing the clearly defective hardware is out of the question...   
   4. Apple can only throttle the iPhone CPU or the apps running on it.   
      
   Reducing performance is Apple's only option - so what we want to look   
   closely at is exactly how Apple fudges the language to try not to say that.   
      
   Here's our first peek...   
    "The company told CNN the current overheating issues are not a safety   
     risk and will not affect the *long-term* performance of impacted   
     iPhone models. It also emphasized that iPhones have internal   
     protections for components to help regulate the temperature   
     if it gets too high."   
      
   Which means... *Apple is going to throttle the shit out of these iPhones!*   
      
   BTW, note the use of "long term" which doesn't fit so you know Apple is   
   playing some kind of game here. Also note the "emphasis" on "internal   
   protections" (read "throttle the shit out of it") weasel words by Apple.   
      
   I'm not sure why Apple made the distinction on "long term" but the fact   
   they inserted that caveat means there will definitely be short-term   
   negative performance impacts (because Apple is careful with their wording,   
   especially since they're likely to be sued for their incompetence again).   
      
   But it's clear why Apple "emphasized" the "internal protections" (which   
   they say because they can blame pre-existing software throttling this way).   
      
   Nobody lies like Apple lies.   
   Stay tuned... and please post more Apple lies to this thread for reference.
