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

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.
