More like: Your battery is too old so we'll pre-bill you for your $99/year subscription for the privilage of installing this CPU-Throttle update that you cannot refuse to install, and battery replacement costs almost as much as a new device.

MacOS updates are free.

A battery replacement for my iPhone 14 Pro is currently £95 and a new phone would be £1099. I just tried to book for a battery replacement but it advised me not to due to health being at 80%. Now I could go and pay them but they would advise against it until the health is worse to get more value for money.

Honestly I can’t comprehend why so many people give a shit what other people choose to use.

Like live your own life, it must be exhausting to have the mentality of caring what others do. Truly boggles my mind.

I don’t give a fuck about what you choose to spend your money on, it has no bearing on my life at all.
