Um........ Yeah. iPhone 4, an 3+ years old phone, which usage pattern are beyond what normal ( or called dumbphone) and therefore you charge it a lot more........

On the other hand, if battery degradation after the warranty period is so predictable, then they could have built the phone to take swappable batteries. Otherwise their pretty much guilty as charged of planned obsolescence.

Well they do offer the services of replacing your battery. It is not they force you to buy a new Phone.

And the swappable batteries, They have their own set of trade off and problems.
