For anyone who still thinks the iPhone throttling wasn't *secret*

FALSE. It was mentioned in the iOS 10.2.1 release notes as anyone with a
web browser and half a brain cell can plainly see:

"iOS 10.2.1 includes bug fixes and improves the security of your iPhone
or iPad. It also improves power management during peak workloads to
avoid unexpected shutdowns on iPhone."

There's nothing "secret" about this.

*drastic*

FALSE. The feature only activates when apps cause *peak* spikes in
performance, which doesn't apply to the vast majority of apps, and only
takes effect on devices whose batteries are at the end of their lifespan
and cannot provide the needed current without prematurely shutting off
the device, which extends the runtime of devices with dying batteries -
that's something most people want. Hardly "drastic".

and, most importantly, *permanent*

FALSE. The feature activates only on devices whose batteries can no
longer supply nominal current and only during *peak* resource
consumption, which means most apps are unaffected since most do not
cause peak spikes in performance. And replacing the dying battery with a
new one returns those *peak* spikes back to 100% performance. Nothing
"permanent" about it.

Troll on...
