They are knowingly bricking people's phones with no warning with one of their latest patches. If the phone was repaired by a 3rd party other than Apple, you may be in for a surprise.

I've owned 2 Apple products and both have had the same shady type of BS from Apple. First was an iMac which they installed faulty video cards in. Apple ignored the issue and told people to buy $500 logic boards which didn't resolve the issue but they didn't get their money back, when the same symptoms came right back. It took 5 years, long after the computers were obsolete for them to admit there was a faulty video card issue.

Next was the 1st gen iPad mini which had a wifi range of about 50ft. Apple used sub par wifi receivers and once again ignored the issue. They fixed the issue by releasing new OS which slows down the device trying to force people to upgrade.

Morale of the story Apple sucks balls and does this shit over and over and dumbass fanboys still line up to buy their shit..
