Apploptosis 

Apple’s programmed cell-phone death (the degradation in the function of iPhones, after they reach a certain age, that Apple programs into them).

Etymology:

Apple (he cell-phone producer who, in December 2017, admitted that it programmed certain models of its iPhone (iPhone 6, iPhone 6S, and SE) to slow down after the battery reached a certain age, ostensibly to smooth out his performance, after many people had a long believed it was slowing down the phones as a way to get people to buy new ones.

Apoptosis: “progammed cell death”; the death of cells that occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development.
Dang! This iPhone sucks, now ! It must have reached Apploptosis. guess I have to buy a new one.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
