There was a third option. Make people aware so they could just replace their batteries instead of the entire phone. And they didn't. They were proven guilty in court and they agreed to a settlement. Please don't try to justify them. It's ok to admit fault. It makes them improve. Battery life on iphones have come a long long way since then and it's for the better

I agree with your sentiment in general. I don't think Apple is individually rigging hardware for battery replacement costs and it's all a coincidence in OPs case. BUT it's the same trillion dollar company who got caught throttling people's phones for battery life in the past in a backhanded way to make people upgrade. So I see where OPs thoughts are coming from.
