iPads next? The latest iOS pushes have killed iPad battery life, and are causing repeated lockups and black screens reminiscent of the decade
ago, bad old, Microsoft BSOD.
I don't know why, exactly, iPads aren't affected by throttling, since Apple pretty much has added throttling software in _every_ major release since
iOS 10 started the practice (& iOS 14 is still a work in progress).
o Almost every iPhone in the world now has throttling software added by iOS <

Perhaps iPads are spared simply because Apple didn't cheap out on the
battery for iPads, where it's a fact Apple cheaped out on batteries even on
the iPhone 12 series (in addition to cheaping out on the accessories).
Apple loves to take away basic functionality... & then sell it back to you!
o It's basically part of their operating mantra (it's brilliant, in fact).
For just one example:
o Apple is activating secret software inside the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR

For another example:
o Apple to offset costly 5G iPhone components with cheaper battery tech <

There are so many examples that it's not a coincidence...
o Apple loves to remove functionality - so Apple can then sell it back!
BTW, while you mention Microsoft BSODs, they're infamous (where I have a
set myself I've been debugging and reporting upon in the relevant
newsgroups):
o Windows 10 BSOD indicates a hardware problem - but what hardware is the problem?

My point is that when you bring up M$ BSODs, rest assured nobody on Windows loves Microsoft for that infamous issue - but we should concentrate on
mobile devices, where nobody on Android loves Google either, but at least Google and the OEMs don't consistently pull the sleazy tricks Apple does:
o Do any Android phone manufacturers throttle (CPUs, PD Charging, Modems) like Apple consistently does?

Apple makes ungodly profits off their ungodly gullible customers for sure.
o But don't blame Microsoft or Google for Apple's ability to fool people.
While Apple R&D is the lowest in all high tech, Apple MARKETING is great!
o What is the most brilliant marketing move Apple ever made? <

Basically, Apple MARKETING has a plan, as far as is evident by the facts,
to slowly remove basic functionality from the device, and then _sell_ it
back.
Notice Apple removed CPU functionality from most iPhone owners (secretly at first and now, they give the hapless iPhone owners a "choice" of bad &
worse):
a. Either choose to prematurely replace a perfectly good battery every year
b. Or you suffer the consequences of throttling
Which, itself, as we all know, gives iPhone owners the unenviable "choice"
A. Either choose right now for an unacceptably unstable device, or,
B. Choose right now for unacceptable speeds.
*YOU MUST CHOOSE ONE AND YOU MUST CHOOSE NOW!*
No wonder Apple has lost so many lawsuits - even with the finest lawyers.
o Who on earth would put up with those sleaze moves but Apple cultists?
In summary, Apple lawyers keep losing on throttling lawsuits simply because
the facts are clear Apple purposefully secretly drastically permanently decreased the life of iPhones, and the facts prove Apple _continues_ this sleazy throttling practice for almost every iPhone out there today.
Only Apple does this.
o (Despite nospam's blame of everyone but Apple for what Apple does.)

Apple owners are especially gullible as they believe only in MARKETING bs.
