[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1781714, member: 175845"] I think you'v got caught up in some of the media hype and you may want to do some reading of the facts and maybe start here: [url]http://www.idownloadblog.com/2017/12/20/apple-phone-cpu-throttling-old-battery/[/url] [url]https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/20/apple-addresses-why-people-are-saying-their-iphones-with-older-batteries-are-running-slower/[/url] I will agree Apple's method and finally their acknowledging statement could have been done and handled much better, but I really doubt if it's sure not the first time any software development firm hasn't had to throttle down some applications or apps to save crashing the hardware as I recall. PS: And I don't think you'll find that Steve Jobs was quite as perfect and angelic as you seem to suggest he was if you do some reading and checking, and that includes his time at Apple. :o - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
