Plain as day how? The controversy Apple had was throttling processors in phones with aging batteries so they wouldn’t randomly shut down under load. That’s not even close to the same thing as purposely pushing an update you know will basically brick phones. Apple was actually attempting to extend the life of older devices not make them useless. I’m not saying Apple handled it correctly, but this is plain as day not the same thing.
Comment on Google Pixel 4a’s ruinous “Battery Performance” update is a bewildering mess

I’m gonna go ahead and say what we all think and know to be true. This is Apples fault. Fully and completely. It’s as plain has day. And i will downvote and persecute any one that dares to do call us out on this.

There was a troll that came into the comments, loudly screaming at everyone that we were all deluded Google fanboys who were surely going to downvote this to oblivion and leap to Google’s defense, and blame Apple. They were not deterred when no one did that, and also they called me a Republican for some reason.
They’ve now been banned and their content deleted, leaving Iceman’s surreal comment as the only remnant. But without the thing it’s satirizing, it’s just a bizarre and wrong comment on its own. Iceman is not serious, they’re just making fun of the troll.
