Another way is to do whatever other manufacturers like Samsung are doing. No slowdown based on battery capacity and no sudden shutdown either.


Samsung has similar issues.

Battery are physical object with physical limitations. They will have diminished peak capacity and peak voltage over time.


No they don't. Those issues are very rare and indicative of faulty batteries. When you sell hundred million devices a few hundred can be defective. Not a big deal. Generally, Samsung phones (or any other manufacturer tbf) do not start shutting down randomly after 2 years. They also do not slow down the CPU. So they must be doing something which Apple hasn't discovered yet or (more likely) hasn't implemented because this way they can force users to buy $1000 every year.
