But Apple said it wasn't their fault - it was the fault of the batteries.
Therefore, it seems so unfair that Apple has to pay billions of dollars to settle legal claims brought by scores of states and countries simply
because, as Apple explained in their unattributed unsigned public letter of explanation, the secret throttling was simply a common normal natural
result of typical batteries doing what all those batteries typically do.
But, get this, this natural degradation requiring secret throttling only happened with certain iPhones & even then, only with certain iOS versions.
Only Jolly Roger, nospam and Alan Browne believed what Apple incredulously claimed (which pretty much tells us all about their cognitive abilities).

Did apple recently drop their outrageous price? When I checked a couple
years ago, they were $19. I bought an aftermarket on ebay for a few
dollars. Seems well made, and holding up just fine so far.

Apple isn't the only company selling Lightning cables.

To the original topic of batterygate, had Apple done what any decent
company should have done, they would have come clean from the start.

apple isn't the only company that makes lightning cables (or hardware
that uses lightning ports for that matter).
I bought an aftermarket on
ebay for a few dollars. Seems well made, and holding up just
fine so far.
so you agree that they're available for less than $19.

No, not from apple.
Genuine apple brand were $19. This is what the bastards charged for
short cables, probably more for longer ones.
