Hi! So, batteries do wear out in approx 1.5 - 2 years, right? If so, why Apple releases CPU slowdown patches after year and a couple months after the phone's release? Let's say, iPhone 7 was released September 16, and soon in the next iOS version or so, this iPhone 7 will be slowed down officially. What is this? Greed?

Also, not really a question but I noticed a very weird thing. I used iPad Mini 2 for some time and sadly but power button stopped to work. Since I've had a 1-year warranty - I replaced the iPad with a new one and never used it since. (It happened in 2015). In early 2017 I decided to blow the dust off it and launched. Worked fine but I updated to the new iOS 10 and ... it started to work like a brick. Sad story, but I do not understand if Apple slows down devices with a weak battery, why that iPad was affected? It had a new battery and the device itself was in a mint condition... I think Apple lying even more here ... Thanks
