The American user has taken this impinging on their god-given right to control the performance of their latest game of Angry Birds with all the calm and consideration you might expect, that is to tell that there are multiple class-action lawsuits versus the firm currently in the works. This is per Gizmodo, that notes that legal action has been initiated versus Apple in both California and Illinois. The statuses allege—not wholly out of left field, given the accusations of planned obsolescence that have dogged the firm for years—that the slowdowns were less about battery age, and further about prodding people with iPhone 6s and 7s toward upgrading to a newer model. The Illinois suit goes to far as to accuse the firm of "immoral conduct" with unsuccessful to inform consumers about the changes, or let them to opt in or out of the speed controls.
Apple addresses why people are telling their iPhones with older batteries are running 'slower'
Instead, Apple is focusing attention on smoothing out the extremely high and quick peaks of power draw which could cause crises with older batteries. Basically, iPhones were hitting peaks of processor power which the battery was unable to power and the phones were shutting off. Some users who have had older batteries replaced too told they've seen got best benchmarks after replacing their batteries. "I think users who trial significant slowdowns because of battery wear would need Apple to be further transparent about this issue," tells Poole. It's clear which people just didn't understand which protecting an iPhone with an older battery was going to directly affect performance.
