Apple is being super petty and trying to force customers to upgrade their phones by making their old phones run slower.Instead, Apple is focusing attention on smoothing out the very high and quick peaks of power draw that can cause problems with older batteries.
In statement made to Techcrunch, Apple said “Our goal is to deliver the best experience for customers, which includes overall performance and prolonging the life of their devices. Lithium-ion batteries become less capable of supplying peak current demands when in cold conditions, have a low battery charge or as they age over time, which can result in the device unexpectedly shutting down to protect its electronic components.”
Basically, what Apple’s software is doing is limiting the power draw of the iPhone’s processor in order to prevent unexpected shut downs and help extend the life of an aging battery. The main reason for this is because as lithium ion batteries get older, their ability to hold a charge diminishes, and sudden power draws can place a bigger burden on the battery than it can actually handle, resulting in the phone randomly turning off.
Apple’s statement went on to say, “Last year we released a feature for iPhone 6, iPhone 6s and iPhone SE to smooth out the instantaneous peaks only when needed to prevent the device from unexpectedly shutting down during these conditions. We’ve now extended that feature to iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2, and plan to add support for other products in the future.”
This second part confirms that updates to iOS were responsible for the CPU throttling, which was an effort to reduce bursts of power usage (like you would see when running a benchmark app), and is what caused the low scores that Reddit users and Primate Labs described when testing older phones. It seems all of this was a deliberate move on Apple’s part, and that the company will continue to include these features in future devices as well.
It is nice to share good things with friends,family and to the world.
