That would be a plausible explanation if both actions had the same effect.

Where does it say that in the guidelines?

>Imagine someone asks you: see that guy across the street? Do I have your consent to search his pockets? If you say yes, what does it mean? Precisely nothing.
I think if you have some kind of authority over the place where this happens and/or if you facilitate an illegal action then you could be breaking the law.

That sounds absolutely true until you compare it to at least 95% of other jobs.
At that point you would have to accept that almost everything humans are working on day in day out is pretty trivial.

>Fair enough, but it sure meets the definition of 'helpful intervention'.
I don't see how. Anyone can buy electricity without any intervention from the government. An intervention is an action that changes what would happen by default.

>Investors, but also the government in allowing these companies to siphon electricity away passing the increased cost to the consumers
Not arbitrarily banning companies from buying a product from a supplier doesn't meet my definition of the term "subsidy".

I think the way this could work is by linking certain capabilities to MDM or a developer program membership. Organisations and people who really need it would still be able to get it but regular users would not.

You would have gotten your money's worth out of an Air as well, but it would get support for many more years.

You only learn after the fact which features you're not getting though. It's not an informed a choice.

It's not just a question of experience though. The Neo can be perfectly sufficient for you right now but that doesn't change the fact that Apple obsoletes devices based on RAM.
E.g., the iPhone 15, released 3 years ago, doesn't get Apple Intelligence because it has just 6GB of RAM.
I wouldn't buy a device that is already at the very lowest end of supported hardware the day it's released. It could cut the years of meaningful OS upgrades by half or perhaps even by two thirds.
It's uneconomical.

>The common sentiment about this I found online was that the computer knows better
The problem is that neither you nor the computer knows what 80% is without occasionally charging to 100%.

Not true. Show me a service agreement that doesn't create a legal obligation to pay for a service you have consumed.
They may well decide not to chase customers for small unpaid amounts. But that's not something you should rely on as the issue is with large amounts.
None of this has anything to do with invoicing, but I would be surprised if they didn't issue invoices to all US customers.
The usability of their mobile app is atrocious though. Good thing they have a website.
