Whatever the case is, many iphone owners are upset. Many have filed lawsuits alleging that Apple (AAPL,-0.15%) Unhen betrayed by revealing that it would slow the phone — a timid attempt to buy unhen new iPhones at all.
Apple has apologised for how it has shipped to the public about batterygate, and has denied that it "drives the customer Unnayan to shorten the life of anything intentionally degrade an Apple product, or user experience."
In an effort to make good with customers, the company also reduced the price of replacing the out-of-warranty iPhone battery from $79 to $29.
The whole theme is confusing for many iPhone owners. Here is our guide to what you need to know.
Why does Apple slow IPhone performance?
It's all about batteries. Apple said lithium-ion batteries that power iPhones have weakened over time, causing smartphones to suddenly turn off despite the show that their batteries are still left in some unhen. For example, an iPhone with a 20% charging balance might be unable to power the battery device (especially if it is running multiple apps together). Instead, it may close.
As Fortune's Jeff Roberts personally experienced in December 2016, an iPhone can suddenly be a major pain off, especially when navigating in unfamiliar city streets using mobile mapping apps. For the record: cold weather also temporarily weakens iPhone batteries.
To tackle the problem, Apple released last year an update to its IOS software to fix the problem of IPhones closed unexpectedly. Update the overall performance of the iPhone so as to not slow down your battery overload. In other words, you eliminate the performance of the business for reliability.
What happens when your iPhone's performance is choked?
When Apple's software interferes to protect your iPhone battery, running apps on the device may take more time to open and run more slowly (scrolling web pages might take more time, for example). Your iPhone may also automatically dim and reduce its speaker volume. However, Apple said its recent battery update should not hurt the performance of some major iPhone features like the ability to make cellular calls, use GPS, or buy things using Apple Pay.
What IPhone models are affected?
Apple said that released a year ago battery software updates affects iphone 6, iphone 6 Plus, iphone 6s, iphone 6s Plus, and iphone SE. Apple also said it applied that battery tweak to the iphone 7 and iphone 7 plus through an IOS update in December. The company said it plans to expand the update to Anya products in the future, meaning the new model of iphone like iphone 8 and iphone x could get similar tweaks.
How can I check the performance of my iPhone battery?
New iOS update Apple plans to release this year should give people more information about their iPhone's battery life. If you can't afford to wait, you can download the app surveillance from Geekbench 4 IPhone Performance Primate Labs, which published research about battery problems in December.
How can I unnayan my iPhone battery?
The easiest way to get a new battery is to schedule an appointment at the brightest bar of your nearest Apple store. Depending on the length of the waiting list and availability of replacement batteries, the process can take hours or days. If you instead mail your phone to Apple, a roughly five to nine days wait is unmid.
How can I improve my iPhone's performance?
Avoid cold weather, if possible, after that battery can affect performance. Apple says that the IPhones are designed to display the best performance from 62 ° to 72 °f (16 ° to 22 °c). Avoid leaving your iPhone out in the sun, too, 95 °f (as temperatures over 35 degrees Celsius) can damage batteries.
