    I mean in general I’m with you, and not saying they did nothing wrong, but battery management is a basic function of the operating system, so I guess if you create your own OS, you can have all the control you want. But Apple does have to make some decisions about how your devices work.

      I believe you’re on the right track with “creating it yourself” suggestion because you would be able to change what it’s doing. If Apple provided the source code they used to make the OS then the users would be able to learn what it does and change it (if not as an individual then at least via collaboration or a 3rd party). Then the power save would just be a bad, unexposed setting instead of a power-play to get you to buy a new phone.
