It did, shortly, then Apple got fined and then the feature was removed, yes, there's no contradiction whatsoever with anything I said.

First it has no link with the EU, and then you said it wasn't about tech but “physics”. And surely Apple would hire lawyers familiar enough with physics to be able to explain it…

But now at least it's opt-out because Apple was forced to do something against the backlash. Nobody would have called that shady if they communicated clearly about the throttling and made it opt-out from the get go (or even better: wait before such a issue gets triggered once before throttling the phone, and explicitly tell the user when it happens…). And surely that's what company that cares about user experience as much as Apple would do … if they weren't trying to screw their customers.
