Hey look I understand the annoyance but maybe apple is protecting consumers. Im no expert on this but have heard in tje past that its not good for the battery to use a device while its battery is charging.

Yet I do this with chromebook often and the device two years later works like new. But that's a Chromebook with an on average, bigger battery then most low cost phones/mouee.

The complaints about this are ridiculous. Charge it before the battery runs out. It only takes like an hour to charge anyway. This has never been a problem for me and all of the years this has been out. 15 minutes will give you enough charge for an entire day’s worth of work.

Just plug it in and go get some coffee for goodness sake.
