I mean, this is my last response for several reasons, but here are a few:

You made a dumb claim about multiple chips used in an iPhone when that has NEVER happened. When questioned, you changed your argument to another, non-existent issue.

Claimed Apple lied about the SOC used in the iPhone 14. They actually used the fact is was the 13 Pro's SOC as a talking point during its announcement. Not sure how that means they are hiding anything. Check it yourself if ya want.

As someone who actually deals with mobile devices on a daily basis, I'm gonna let you in on a secret. Almost every manufacturer does throttling based on battery performance. Lithium batteries cannot handle the current required for high performance as they age. They begin to brown out, leading to instability. Sooooo most manufacturers will limit core speed based on the voltage drips under heavy load. Was Apple's super aggressive? 100%, But they also do not have nearly the same issues with suddenly turning off as they age. That's also why dropping a new battery in will eliminate the performance reduction.

Calling Apple phones Chinese clones is the funniest thing I have heard all year. They develop their own OS instead of piggybacking off of Goggle. They develop their own SOC designs instead of using Qualcomm's. Are they assembled in China? Yeah, at Foxconn, along with about 40% of all consumer electronics, including most of the big-name brands running Android.

You are talking out of your ass, and it's hilarious. With that, I am no longer responding to this thread.

Lmao, they never hid that they used the same SOC as the previous year. It was printed plain as day on the marketing materials. The A15 Bionic was the pro model SOC. They just stepped it down to the non-pro the next year.

No one is forcing people to buy Apple devices. Not sure why it's any different from Samsung or LG?

I'm sorry what? The closest thing to that would be the M1 ultra which is only on MacOS devices.

iPhones and iPads are all using single SOCs, like every other mobile device.

Here is iFixit's breakdown on the 14pro max

Designed and fabricated are two completely different things. If that was the case, then AMD is just TSMC's chips, the same with Nvidia.

​

Samsung owns the factory that puts Apple's design into the physical silicon, and Apple actually designs the chip itself.

NIHM and NiCD batteries used to be charged at high current on timer chargers. That practice has fallen away with lithium packs that you usually charge at 1-2C. Chargers of the same price range nowadays have better logic than a dial timer.

Ehh I argues to say most aftermarket chargers have much better control and quality compared to included chargers. I personally use ISDT and HiTech brand chargers and they are leaps and bounds beyond what is included with air soft and RC related stuff.
