And they got away with it because an Apple consumer will believe anything.
 

 For me it was "you're holding the phone wrong" and "it's courageous to
remove the headphone jack".

+1. Agree with those brazen lies that apple also got away with Scott free.
a. Apple lies that battery chemistry is different for its iOS versions
b. Apple lied about its poor antenna design
c. Apple lied about why they removed the industry standard aux jack
Add to those Apple lies that they removed the charger (& raised the price!)
so that they would be "green" & because everyone already had a bunch of 5
Watt charging bricks for their iPhone 12 (which was designed for 20 watts).
Apple's fundamental strategy is to remove basic hardware (or never even
provide it, such as the industry standard portable storage slot), and then
watch their (admittedly loyal) customers squirm in pain to find a way to
pay to get that removed functionality back.
What's a common theme is the Apple customer will always believe these lies.   Apple: I just shoved a pole up your ass... Apple is good for you, right?
  Apple Customer: I love you! I'll wait outside the store for you to do it!
Thank God Android's abound like mine, with huge batteries, headphone jacks,
sdcard slots for portable storage and a powerful PD/QC charger in the box.
