Default Apple throttled your iPhone by cutting its speed almost in HALF!

False. Android phones absolutely do throttle the CPU secretly with no
warning:

from the same stackoverflow thread Samsung Galaxy S3 (9300)
"It turns out to be a thermal problem. As the app is running the
android battery temperature is rising. At 48 degrees android os has
throttled down the cpu from 1.4 Ghz to 0.8 Ghz."

The difference is that the throttling isn't permanent.


it's not permanent on iphones either.

only *peak* loads are limited, where the battery can't source the
necessary current. had that not been done, the phone would likely
suddenly shut down.

the rest of the time, when the battery is not being pushed hard,
there's no throttling because the battery is capable of providing the
needed power.

Unclear if the
same behavior exists for all Androids.


all mobile devices vary cpu speed and other subsystems based on load.

to not do so is stupid.
