Apple answers its critics.

A
pple has released a statement to TechCrunch
to address accusations on the Internet that the
company purposely throttles the performance of
older iPhones in order to boost new iPhone sales. Here
is the statement to TechCrunch:
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.
The batteries in iPhones, iPads, and other portable
devices degrade over time, thanks to heat and age. This
means an older battery becomes less suited to meet
the demands of a device’s processing peak. With an
iPhone, this could cause the device to shut down.
To address this, Apple last year updated iOS with
power management features so that processing
peaks were smoothed out by putting a cap on the
power draw from the battery, or by distributing power
requests over multiple cycles.
As TechCrunch points out, this is a problem with
lithium-ion batteries, and Apple’s power management
is an attempt to prolong the life of your device, not
to shorten it. If Apple were truly trying to hamper
performance to force sales of new devices, the
company would be basically asking for legal and
governmental problems.
