Those are community forums.

This entire assumption is correct. Source: was an engineer for Apple in the audio division.

You want a class action lawsuit over a software bug? Give me a break. As far is it was forced on you. Doubt it. I have about 10 test devices here. None of the are forced to update software. Unless I set them that way. Instead of threatening law suits. File a bug report. Feedback.apple.com Stop being so dramatic and care about helping the problem. Apple (and almost all tech companies) want their users to have a good experience. Software engineers are not monitoring forums for issues. They don’t have time for that. But they do have a team of people who monitor the feedback reported to them properly. Threatening a lawsuit isn’t going to get you anywhere. Stop being an idiot.

Everytime Apple doesn’t raise the price, they need to make up the inflationary costs somewhere. If boxes weigh less and/or can fit more in a cargo container, they are gonna do it.
