This is old news that Apple historically has put el-cheapo components into >> the iPhone batteries (in addition to laughably puny capacity sizes), so

OMG, all those articles are WAY outdated.
Given the point was to prove that Apple did it, that's to be expected.
For those who don't know how Apple religious zealots work, while they
defend Apple to the death, no matter what, they do so using the first
utterly absurd excuse they can come up with, which is what Tom did above.
Their only goal is to deflect, deny, and change the subject somehow,
so that facts about Apple can not be discussed in an adult manner.
In that particular proof that Apple chooses to use crappy components,
the whole point was that on the Apple newsgroup, we've been tracking the
known fact that Apple historically puts crappy batteries in the iPhone.
Some of the Apple religious zealots insisted, always without a shred of evidence, that not only did we NOT talk about it, but that it was false.
So we resurrected the proof that it happened & that we discussed it.
Yet, today, the Apple religious zealots absurdly denied it even happened.
What kind of strange person does that?
I don't know.
It's how Apple religious zealots are.
The absurdity of these ridiculous excuses of the Apple religious zealots
was proven by pointing out exact message Id's of threads in which the Apple religious zealots who denied knowing anything about these facts, actually participated on multiple threads discussing these very facts, and, in some cases, these Apple religious zealots who denied knowing anything about the topic (and hence, they said it was false) actually authored the threads!
What this proves is the Apple zealot likely *hates* all facts about Apple
that don't match with the (admittedly brilliant) propaganda they believed.
