Only fair. Since Microsoft stole Apple’s “windows” (GUI) idea, now it’s Apple’s turn to steal Microsoft’s “make it worse so they have to buy a new one” idea.

MS never stole windows from Apple. Xerox developed GUIs and mouse controllers nearly a decade before Apple used them.

So if I buy a new iPhone 7...Will Apple allow my new phone down? Or does it wait until the battery gets old?

Um, neither Microsoft or Apple came up with the idea, and both are intellectual thieves.
