I object to the use of "dismal". If they are grade "B", there are worse
classifications, as C, D, E...

 You don't like the word dismal?
 Then pick any word you like for Apple lying to you about iPhone efficiency.
 Deceitful... duplicitous... despicable... dishonest... disassembling...
deceptive... discrepant...

It's not lying.
Apple CHOSE to derate their devices to a "B" rating.
This is easily seen in that EVERY Apple device in the EU database is listed with an endurance time that is an even number of hours.
<https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/product/smartphonestablets20231669>
Add "Apple" as a "Brand or trademark" and see for yourself.
19 devices listed and every single one has an endurance that ends in "00min".
Since logic (you love "logic", right!) tell us that Apple would never be allowed to round the numbers UP for their products, they are clearly rounding them down.
