Apple admitted last night that it is slowing down the iPhone depending on the iOS version the phone is running and the degree of battery wear, from iPhone 7 down all models are affected by what the company did. For those who don't know, it all started with iOS 10.2, when Apple first released a "fix" for the problem that caused phones iPhone 6S, and not only that, they were closed during use in the cold.
Apple then announced that it is making a series of changes in iOS to solve the problem and keep the phones working even in the cold, but did not provide detailed explanations about the changes. A year later, here we find out what exactly we gave up in order to correct Apple's problem, more precisely, because of the bad batteries foosited by Apple, we have to give up about half of the iPhone's performance.
When it released iOS 10.2 and solved the problem of the iPhone 6S shutting down in the cold, the Apple company did not say that everything is based on the fact that the battery cannot provide a peak of energy necessary for the operation of the components and solved this by limiting the components. He did this yesterday, a year later, after it was proven that the performance of iPhones is artificially limited by iOS because of the battery.
Apple lied to its iPhone customers, and the cost could be huge
Apple practically recognized the fact that some iPhone phones with charged batteries will often have worse performance, even if they are a year old, iPhone 7 being included with iOS 11.2 in the list of phones with reduced performance. Recognizing this, Apple sends the message that iPhone phones are basically no longer useful after 1 year if their performance is substantially reduced and they become very difficult to use.
Apple lied by omission last year when it didn't say exactly what it was doing, and that dates back to the days of Steve Jobs, when the former co-founder was doing exactly what he thought was best for customers. Apple has told lies over time, a very big one with the iPhone 4 and the signal affected by covering the antennas with the bridge of the palm, and now it is lying to us with the iPhone performance that has batteries charged too often.
The cost of this shameful lie should be a good drop in sales to prove that you need to notify your customers about the changes that affect them and give them the option to block them. Unfortunately, I don't think that Apple will learn anything from this and I think that in Cupertino everything is considered normal, but the move is one that could cost it not only sales, but also lawsuits that it could lose.
