Talk about drastic!

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

"After replacing the battery, Geekbench showed that the scores had nearly
doubled."

Apparently Apple cleverly *manipulated* the release notes, *after* the
fact!

"The feature was not mentioned in the release notes accompanying
the update, but Apple quietly revised the notes to include a
line about "power management" at some point *after* the update
was released."

"Even an Apple user who was paying attention would not have known about
the feature had they downloaded the update ... after it was available."

"There was no mention of the CPU throttling feature or "power management"
included with the release notes that accompanied the software update on
January 23."

"Release notes associated with the software update, quietly revised on
Apple's website *after* the software's release, *now* mention
'power management during peak workloads.'"

"A screenshot of the release notes from an iPhone, [are] different
from the notes *now* listed on Apple's website."

"Blog posts from 9to5Mac and MacRumors at the time also say that
the release notes ... didn't mention power management."

"[By] February 23...the feature was already on 'over 50% of active
iOS devices'"

"In December, Apple said that it "extended" the CPU-throttling feature
to the iPhone 7, which is a newer model of device than the iPhones
that were experiencing the shutdown issue that Cook was talking
about. However, the release notes for that update did not mention
a power management feature, either."

"Apple kept [this] information from consumers for quite some time,
[Apple] didn't reveal the fact that the rollout of a new operating
system was going to have the effect of dropping back phones."
