Once again, Apple has decided that there is better for everyone with an iPhone because it discreetly adds code in the latest version of iOS 12 to slow iPhone 8 models, 8 Plus and iPhone X to extend the life of the handset battery.

Nestled in the release notes of the iOS 12.1 update, in a section titled "Other improvements and fixes," Apple notes the addition to the code:
Adds a performance management feature to prevent the device from shutting down unexpectedly, including the ability to disable this feature if an unexpected shutdown occurs, for iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus.
We have already come here. This is a cut and glued battery for the 2017 iPhone family.

The theory behind the limitation is relatively valid. As batteries age, chemistry changes and they can no longer provide the same power. Even with today's technology, as batteries age, they weaken. Put too much charge on a battery and there comes a time when it does not work. But the older the battery, the lower the threshold before the battery can simply be delivered. In the case of the iPhone, this means that the handset will turn off to avoid damaging the electronic components.
Apple thinks it's best to reduce the performance of a handset (and charge an older battery) rather than continuing to maintain the performance that the handset had "out of the box" . This was implemented in late 2016 and was reported for the first time by Gordon Kelly of Forbes. Apple has sought to promote this as a simple battery chemistry problem, but no other major smartphone manufacturer, from Samsung to LG to HTC or Motorola, has faced similar problems in a post-market window. launch as short.
Curiously, Apple has previously stated that the 2017 handsets (iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X) would not need this feature. Michael Simon of Macworld:
At the time, Apple had told Senator John Thune that his new phones did not need the same performance management feature because "the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X models include wagers. hardware updates that enable a more advanced performance management system that iOS to anticipate and avoid an unexpected shutdown. "
Yet we are there. Is this redundancy designed to protect circuits with an additional fail-safe mode, the most advanced systems do not work properly or does Apple still have a battery aging problem?
Apple does not comment.

Cynics have seen that a little over a year after the launch of handsets, Apple degrade their performance … at the same time that 2018 handsets would be on general sale.
Unlike the first deployment of this "performance management feature", Apple at least noted that it existed (something that Tim Cook and the rest of Apple were reluctant to do until then). 39, that third parties publish irrefutable evidence), and it is difficult to find a parameter disable the process of limitation involved.
But for the vast majority of users, the iOS update will be applied without reading the notes on the Apple website. This update will be considered "the best thing to do" with regard to security patches and software changes, and many will see their iPhone slow down. and "grow old" and not understand why.
For a company that pretends to be the user, Apple has a habit of hiding its decisions. in loco parentis, instead of having clear and easy-to-understand conversations with customers.
