Implying Apple cares about that. It’s what they refer to as “the cost of doing business”, if recalling and repairing the phones was cheaper than this they’d have done it.

If they want to make a statement that companies are expected to do the right thing then they have to levy a fine that actually hurts when they don’t. This won’t do that.

Remember the Samsung battery issues being all over the news a few years ago and everyone saying, “Apple never has these problems”? Meanwhile Apple was literally breaking people’s phones to reduce fires and paying people off to keep quiet about their battery fires. Nice. 🔥
