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


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

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

UPDATE:
Notice the Apple apologists _hate_ what Apple does so much that they'll
endlessly deny even well verified facts that Apple publicly admitted!

See also this thread today with an important update, thanks to JF Mezei:
o *Apple agrees to settle class action in US over throttling $500M*
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/BR4edQQisYg

=== === === Quoted verbatim from that thread: === === ===
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/02/technology/apple-iphone-lawsuit-settlement.html

Quote: "Eligible devices include any iPhone 6, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus and
SE that ran iOS 10.2.1 or later, or any iPhone 7 or 7 Plus that ran iOS
11.2 or later. Eligible customers had to live in the United States, and
their devices had to run the given software before Dec. 21, 2017."

$25 per qualified phone.

This is the thread that broke the news of Apple's secret, drastic, and
permanent CPU throttling due to inherently poor power-management design...
o *Report says Apple 'Powerd' code secretly slows your iOS device down to
trick you into buying a new device*
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/GdEtzzrc9F0/z57KTsmWAQAJ

See also this thread where Apple publicly admitted to the crime of
intentionally secretly lowering the life of essentially the same set of
iPhones: https://i.postimg.cc/BQZ9hZg1/crime00.jpg
o *Apple agrees to pay 25 million euros fine as Apple admits "Apple
committed the crime of deceptive commercial practice by omission"*
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/l6gAjvW6aqQ

See also this thread, where JF Mezei seems to be updating as news comes in:
o *Quebec class action goes ahead (battery gate)*
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/jmDdZewelrk

Bear in mind, Apple essentially lied to Congress (as in "I didn't inhale")
when they said in their coverup that iPhone throttling wasn't "as"
necessary on the later phones, where, the facts prove Apple added
throttling in _every_ subsequent iOS release since!
o *Every iPhone CPU from the iPhone 6 to iPhone 7 were throttled, then
iPhone 8 to iPhone X were throttled & now the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max &
iPhone XR get throttling software*
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/Mzh1IvniDr8

In addition, Apple clearly lied in their subsequent coverup, with respect
to the fact they secretly modified the release notes well _after_ the fact.
o *Evidence Apple cleverly manipulated iOS release notes on "power
management" after the fact*
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/KXhivHMvrlY/OuV1lgS8AgAJ

Given the speeds were secretly cut in _half_ by Apple...
o Apple throttled your iPhone by cutting its speed almost in HALF!

And given that Apple's design causes premature replacement of millions of
batteries yearly...
o *FACTS: Apple replaced 11 million batteries last year (normal replacement
is ~1.5 million batteries per year)*
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/8Vica_VqdT4/TzFfpZqVBwAJ

How is prematurely replacing millions of batteries yearly a good thing for
the environment?
o *All new iPhones might be forced to have a removable battery (Android
too)*
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/4Ja4FP5eL5s

How is intentionally shortening iPhone life good for the environment?
