      meh. i’d argue that’s wild hysteria because if these things seriously had that problem there’d be thousands of lawsuits, class actions, recalls, etc. strict product liability is strict for a reason and all that.

      also the battery health feature isn’t bad per se. it helps prolong battery life and most phones should use it in some form. i think it’s wild on pixel9+ you’re forced to use it though, although i also don’t see dev tools / patches won’t allow more knowledgeable users to turn it off
