    for now, we are only rescoring the iPhone 14. We are not retroactively rescoring earlier iPhones at this time. If we did, their scores would also likely decline.

    I don’t get it. They finally recognized that the score does not reflect reality, leads to wasted money and frustration, and then they don’t apply there newfound insight to products already affected? To me that seems somewhat dishonest.
