If you want to know about all the Apple mobiles, here’s a list of the latest Apple mobiles price in Pakistan and their specs.
The idea of planned obsolescence is not hidden or new and we all know that newer updates tend to make old phones slower. Only now has such a theory been confirmed by Apple.
The company admits that it slows down older versions of the iPhones, by throttling their processors, as their battery starts to lose its capacity. Apple for its part claims that it does that only to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
Slowdown After Every Update
The occurrence was first observed by Geekbench developer John Poole, who mapped the performance of the iPhone 6s as it got updated. He noticed that with each update, the single-core performance kept hitting declining peaks.
Other Reddit and Twitter users have started to come up with scores that show declining figures; one such user noted his phone to have a factory processor clock of 1400 MHz, though, by now it is only 600 MHz, which is a big decrease.
The issue is said to affect users on the iPhone 6 till 7, with the newer phones not been tested yet.
The iPhone battery is said to retain 80% of capacity after 500 charge-discharge cycles, charging $79 for a replacement battery. By throttling performance, Apple seems to give users no choice but upgrade their phones sooner.
Apple’s Statement
Apple said in a statement to BuzzFeed:
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.
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.
instead of throttle down the performance, Apple should add an option to users to scale down the performance due to life span of battery
Apple Didn’t Work for Battery & Camera :
Wahi Cheap Battery Timing & Wahi Ghatiyaaa Tareen Camera :)
Try huawei leica camera in p9 and p10 or mate 9 and mate 10
U Mean Mate 10 Lite Main Bhi ?)
Apple is an American company, what do u expect from these militant american terrorist?
Apple lovers..plz come up and praise..instead of offering battery replaced.. They force u to phone replacing.. Lol..little costly choice by the way…
And then there are Apple fanboys who will … oh nevermind ^^
I don’t like iPhone I like iOS what to do ?
The shutdown of phones with 40% battery remaining is not justified with this statement. Instead it justifies if the user saw the phone drop to 2-3% from 100% much faster when the capacity of the battery was reduced due to chemistry. In this fix, it seems they are not checking the battery health but assuming all phones should have reduced performance. MacBooks have much better battery reputation among laptops compared to lower capacity and bad health reporting batteries in the iPhones among other smartphones. In my experience surprisingly Xiaomi have the best batteries in smartphones. Samsung has good plans but not sure how much they are affected by the unlucky number 7 of Note 7 ;)
Or they could just use larger and better batteries. If they care about the customer, they should give full disclosure about the whole thing and allow the consumer to make a choice between performance or battery life, but they didn’t said a word before the GeekBench developer exposed the whole thing. Obviously the consumer would think that it’s the phone which can no longer run iOS properly, rather than thinking that it’s the battery at fault. I used to love Apple products back in 2010. But now, with barely any innovation and literally ripping customers off (this whole battery scenario, no headphone jack which gives Apple a chance to gain profits on all lightening accessories and no ports on MacBook other than USB type-C which leads you to buy docks) they are becoming more and more unlikeable.
