1-throttle 压制 ，使窒息

A French regulator revealed it'd fined Apple €25 million over its throttling older iPhones.

2-corroborate 证实，确实

It was originally discovered by researchers at Geekbench, and was acknowledged by Apple after several users corroborated the reports.

3-lie by omission 故意说漏

Since Apple didn't warn customers, the ruling goes, it essentially lied by omission to get users to buy new devices.

4-let's just say 这么说吧，实话实说

5-trumpet 鼓吹，大声宣告

Sounds well and good, let's just say the company wasn't exactly trumpeting the purpose of this feature, nor that you could prevent it by just getting a new battery for your device.

6-revert to 恢复，重回

Since users weren't warned about the throttling, and weren't allowed to revert to their previous version of iOS either, this lack of information to customers constituted misleading commercial practice by omission.

7-steep 陡峭的，不合理的

8-recapture 赢回，夺回

Apple's later offered replacement batteries at a steep discount in an attempt to recapture users' favor.
