    The reason why they did it made sense, the fact that they did not put out a statement informing customers beforehand and providing an option switch was what got them so much criticism.

    Slowing down iPhones without informing customers was poor practice by Apple. Customers want transparency. Adding the override switch was the right thing to do and is what they should have done in the first place.

      Actually it didn’t cost Apple anything. Do you think Tim Cook’s salary has gone down because of this? No they just roll that into the price of Apple products. All these frivolous lawsuits aren’t a victory for consumers like many people think. The only people that profit off of them are lawyers. The consumers are the ones paying for this.

      Users should have the right to decide whether to have their own iPhone slowed down or not. And instead of slowing down the iPhone automatically, there should be a warning to remind the user to replace the detachable battery. Not one that has to be replaced at an Apple store. Apple slowed down the phones at their best interest, not the customer’s.

      Not a problem for a lot of us also, the problem is that even you bring a seamless solution to fight the problem cause you know people will not understand why in the first place and that's not worth getting the backlash for it so you keep doing your thing, it's the people that will get mad anyway cause even though they could be allowed to use their old battery from 3 years of intensive usage, they will be like "god damn it iPhone sucks" while in the meantime the fault is on their side wanting the best out of their phone with a crappy battery.

      This is right to some extent but its more to do with the stubbornness of Apple not providing consumers with a larger battery to start with. At the dimension of iPhone, it can easily fit in larger battery like other Androids do but it will not for the same reason, 1. to save cost 2. throttle or no throttle people will get fed up and upgrade.
      Its not because Apple cares for its consumers and hence throttles the device instead of letting it shut down, its because if such things happen(and because of the smaller battery shut down will happen), its brand name will suffer so why not throttle and because they were caught red handed they have no where to hide than to provide a larger battery in the recent models.
      How will you explain the fact that 12 pro max dimensions are almost like S21 Ultra but the battery is no where near 5000MaH, because Apple wants to SAVE COST and have the smaller battery DEGRADE and people can upgrade. Why when buying a second hand iPhone people care about the battery health so much and while buying Android no one asks about battery health because the batterys are large to start with.
      I don't believe Apple have cared for consumers ever and its only when they are caught red handed doing wrong things or the competition has moved way ahead of it, that it tries to play catch up.
      So please stop giving reasons for every thing Apple does because whatever it does, it does in such a way that it feels as if it is doing for the consumers but really its done to earn more $$$$$

It gets warm for no reason at all, i can just imagine the software asking it to do crazy complicated tasks in the background. I am convinced the iOS updates are also designed to drain older models battery’s and throttle them to try and force you to upgrade. I was complaining about this years ago before they were caught on the throttling saga. I wish someone would hack in to apple and find out the truth because they will never tell us by choice 😂

    I think it’s a little column a, and column b.

    this video would've been most correct 4-5 years ago, but these days, new versions of iOS rarely include resouce-heavy features that old devices can't handle.
    Actually opposite, newer versions of iOS are built with old gen iPhones in mind (i.e iOS 12 or 14)
    this used to be very different, i.e. going from iOS 6 to 7 or to iOS 9 (on 4S and iPad 2)

    Sorry Greg. I believe the same thing when battery gate was a thing expecting it to work like new. I replaced the battery of my iPhone 7 and it still didn’t work like new. Then after I bought my XR I replaced the battery again after 18 months of use, I don’t know what it is but it never works the same.
    Can anyone explain why they were able to shoot RUclips videos with the iPhone 7 but the camera now feels like a potato? Many would argue that we’re just feeling it because the newer phones are that much better. It sucks that Apple is doing this. The camera on my XR takes 30 seconds to open completely!

Where else every Andoid version it brings in huge cutting tech changes, innovations etc. to which Apple plays catching up.
      For example the lame widgets implementation which although looks great, it lacks in functionality, iPhone got widgets after a decade of Android. Anyway I think 3 years of current Android updates are still great as innovations runs high with Android and it's OEMs.

      That is a physical problem. When the battery degrades, its internal resistance increases. Following Ohm‘s law, if the processor now draws a lot of power, the voltage of the battery drops below the point where it is able to satisfy the demand so the device shuts down.

    Oh my gosh for the last few days, my phone has been pretty slow l as well. Like widgetsmith was being laggy, me opening apps and swiping is delayed and stuff. which makes me have to restart my phone like 2 times a day. it thought it was just me. thanks for this video!

      What phone do you have? The only iOS device that is that slow is a 2nd Generation iPad.

      @@RandomFurryUwU it's not too slow anymore though because I deleted quite a few apps that I don't use. Widgetsmith is pretty slow for me though. iMessages crashed a couple of times. It was fine though, i just had to re open it again. I think it crashed cuz i use messages a lot, to text my friends and classmates for school related things

    Fast answer: Do people want: an iphone that crashes and restarts randomly and has battery issues OR an iphone which Has a little less performance than its start but can still be used

    This is the most BS answer possible. Every person with an iPhone will tell you that it isn’t just speed and battery. There are many inexplicable issues that crop up.

    This is just an excuse that is conveniently half-true. My iPhone 6S went through 5 new batteries. Each battery had a shorter lifespan. I only use my phone for messaging, calls and the occasional google map, I don't even web browse on it. I keep everything off in the background, and I'm on low power mode 24/7. I don't use my phone when it charges. With all that said and done, the phone heats up under light load and a new battery will deteriorate in months. There is absolutely designed obsolesce, intentionally degrade the batteries rapidly and protect it by slowing it down. Whatever... This video is fanboy BS.
