My major complaint was that it stopped functioning like a basic phone, which could be a hazardous condition under some circustances.
The brand name of the product is "iPhone".

afaik no major FCC system changes have occurred.

New feature additions were not part of the original contract.
These were forced.
They might as well add CRAY/SETI/Bticoin mining super-computing functionality, but that would still alter the original agreement.

It's as if new Ford Mustang owners found their performance remotely degraded from 460hp to 310hp and then the engine won't even start.

A fully functioning phone as advertised was originally bought and paid for.

Those should all be "off" by default.
Those should all be "opt-in" by default with known defects disclosed and a clear choice to revert available.
