You don't understand Batterygate either, probably because it's been so misreported on Reddit.
Batteries cannot consistently provide max voltage as they age. In order to prevent your phone from shutting down randomly - say, during a 911 call - they make the processor stay within the minimum voltage that the battery can provide.
Yes, it should have been an option, but most customers should leave this feature enabled anyways if they want a stable experience and a reliable phone.

This guy probably got laid off and is trying to "get back" at the company. Negative tests do not include battery life tests. They are app-specific, usually include loading speed tests, etc.
Literally every big tech company on the planet does these to quantify the value of say, reducing latency to load a web page or image. When you see the revenue drop from a web page taking 1 second longer to load, you know whether it's worth investing engineering time in.

Negative tests don't include battery life tests. This guy is lying because he was part of the November layoffs.
They are always used to quantify things relating to the app, e.g. what happens if the app takes three seconds to load an image instead of half a second? How does that impact revenue?

Do you seriously think Reddit doesn't do these very same tests? Or Amazon? Or Google?
Negative testing is an industry wide phenomenon.

Lol China doesn't need TikTok for face data. You do realize there are already billions of hours of picture and video with people's faces already on the internet?

It's a tech demo/precursor for AR, not the endgame.

You do realize Apple's top priority for 2023 is getting into the ads business?

They will probably use it to make realistic NPCs in VR games. TBH we are about to see games that will make the best open-world games today look like Pac-Man.
