Apple finally confirmed that the low performance on the old iPhone 2018

Tremendous controversy broke out this week when the user known as TeckFire on Reddit measured the performance of an iPhone 6s before and after replacing the battery. Relying on Geekbench as a tool to measure CPU performance, he came to the conclusion that Apple is slowing down iPhones whose batteries have decreased their capacity .

The problem with this is that everything was conjecture and there was no official version by Apple, which led to another type of analysis like the same John Poole, founder of Geekbench, who measured the performance of an iPhone 6s and an iPhone 7 where he discovered that in iOS 10.2.1 and 11.2.0 Apple incorporated a mechanism to lower the frequency of the CPU and thus prevent the device will suddenly turn off due to the process load.

Apple also failed to confirm the finding of the founder of Geekbench, but today they are finally breaking the silence by mentioning that yes, the old iPhone performance decreases as the battery deteriorates over time.

According to Apple, the goal is to protect the components of the device
Before Apple came out to confirm the intentional slowdown of the iPhone, the conclusions of both TeckFire and Poole caused the user community to make all kinds of comments against Apple, as it was practically confirming the existence of the famous ” programmed obsolescence ” that bordered users to acquire a new iPhone, since nobody had been able to blame the battery for this decrease in performance.

After this controversy and discomfort among users, Apple today went out to try to calm the waters by confirming (in its very particular way) that such a slowdown is real:

“Our goal is to provide the best experience for our users, which includes the overall performance and lifespan of their devices.” Lithium-ion batteries become less able to meet the demands of working in low temperatures, when they have low load. battery or these have aged over time, which may cause the device to turn off unexpectedly in order to protect its electronic components.

Last year we launched a feature for iPhone 6, iPhone 6s and iPhone SE that smoothes workloads only when necessary, to prevent the device from shutting down unexpectedly during these conditions. Now we extend that function to the iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2 and plan to add support for other products in the future. ”

That is, Apple decreases the frequency of the CPU of those iPhone with battery with some degradation in its capacity, this with the aim of protecting the device and its components . That is why when you change the battery to one of these iPhone the device returns to increase its performance considerably. At least this was demonstrated by the tests of both TeckFire and Poole, there are even more users who have launched to perform the same tests.

Jabra Elite 65t wireless earphones Review 2018

Jabra Elite 65t wireless earphones Review 2018 Nearly a year ago, we reviewed the Jabra Elite Sport, the longtime wireless audio maker's first venture into the true wireless space. You could say that they were ambitious with their approach, considering the earbuds attempted to appeal to both music and fitness enthusiasts. Unfortunately, it didn't help either that the Elite Sport were slapped with a $250 price tag, making them one of the more expensive mainstream options at the time. During CES 2018 early last month, Jabra introduced two new truly wireless headphones – the Jabra Elite 65t and the Elite Active 65t. Naturally, this strategy is a departure from the company's previous efforts, as it now tries to cater to the two opposing demographics with dedicated products. The Elite 65t, in particular, is marketed as "being engineered for the best true wireless calls and music experience." That's yet again a bold claim, so we'll find out how it stacks...

Apple devices are butt dialing 911 from its refurbishing facility 2018

Apple devices are butt dialing 911 from its refurbishing facility 2018 Since October, emergency responders in Elk Grove and Sacramento County, California have received over 1,600 false alarm 911 calls coming from an Apple repair and refurbishing site in the area. It’s not clear if the calls are coming from Apple’s iPhones or Watches but each time a call originates out of the Elk Grove facility, there’s no one on the other end of the line and it’s gumming up the emergency response system in the area, draining resources and possibly slowing down response teams in actual emergencies. “The times when it’s greatly impacting us is when we have other emergencies happening and we may have a dispatcher on another 911 call that may have to put that call on hold to triage the incoming call,” police dispatcher Jamie Hudson told Sacramento CBS Local News, which first reported these incidents. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department says it has also received these false calls, telling...

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018 Microsoft is bringing something big into their hands , as the patent that was granted last week in the United States has shown. This patent had already emerged at the end of October of this year, where its resemblance reminded us of that mythical Microsoft Courier , which never saw the light. Now we have new clues that in Redmond are working on a device that is known under the code name of ‘Andromeda’ , which could be the rumored and expected Surface Phone. And now, thanks to designer David Breyer, we can have a clearer look at what this device would look like if it were real. Microsoft Andromeda David Breyer decided to get down to work and carefully read the Microsoft patent as well as the schematics and details, this with the aim of making a 3D recreation of the device and so we can understand a little what they are doing in Redmond. The first rumors, the new patent and the examples shown with the Courier sho...
