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

actually, it's extremely unusual.

trolls post for a reaction, not for content.

And yet Harry's posts have been informative for me.

No, they were filled with lies, like:

"Apple basically admitted today they permanently chopped CPU speeds in
half"

The CPU speed isn't only cut in half, but on a curve, and it's not
permanent but only when the device is doing something that specifically
requires more current than the battery can supply, and only on devices
with batteries that are on the way out.

yep.

put simply, the peaks are clipped.

for everyday tasks that don't push it hard, such as reading email or
web surfing, there is no slowdown.

And:

"they were trying to secretly mask defective batteries"

No evidence of that, and the feature in question was specifically
mentioned in the iOS release notes - hardly a secret.

they were actually trying to *extend* the life of batteries.


Yes, they were trying to extend the life of the battery until the warranty
runs out.


Batteries are not covered under warranty unless shown to be truly defective
- not just swear and tear.


I think a battery that prevents the device from running at full speed
because the unit shuts down would be considered to be "truly defective".
