Exactly they totally fail and people that think apple can do no wrong will say other wise. This should be a toggle anyways. The only good thing to come out of this is that they are now going to let you know when your device is going to be effected by the battery and replacements will only cost 30 bucks. This proves to me that battery replacements could have been 30 bucks in the first place. I mean look at all the money you spend on an IPhone. I mean you can also go somewhere that is not apple and get the battery swapped for 50 bucks.
