    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.

      I’m guessing they don’t feel the time to do a fair re-review is worth it on older devices with less, but higher than 0, new users.

      Most people who are interested in those devices already have them, so a change in score doesn’t really make a difference.
