Lmao they’re only doing it for users in France, not everyone else. I know it’s technically not dangerous and the regulations there just makes the threshold lower, but it sounds so maliciously compliant to do it just in France.

Just enough of a functional downgrade to comply with the demand and cause people to think they need to upgrade to the new iPhone.
