Apple releases a statement to respond to the controversy over the old iPhone.
The old iPhone is slow. And this time, it's official. Faced with the controversy after the publication of a post on the subject by the founder of Geekbench, John Poole, the Cupertino firm reacted.
Asked by TechCrunch, Apple confirms that indeed, the old models are restrained during the updates. However, contrary to popular belief, this is not to induce you to buy the following model. Here is the explanation of Apple:
"Our goal is to provide the best experience for our consumers, which includes overall performance and extended life of their devices. Lithium-ion batteries are less able to meet peak demands in the event of cold, low battery charge, or aging over time, which can cause the device to shut down unexpectedly to protect its electronic components.
Last year, we released a feature for the iPhone 6, iPhone 6s and iPhone SE to smooth instantaneous peaks only when necessary to prevent the device from unexpectedly shutting down in these areas. conditions. We have now extended this functionality to the iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2, and plan to add support for other products in the future."
In essence, the reason why older iPhones are slow is the battery. It ages and no longer supports peaks of energy use (when the device turns fully), forcing Apple to "smooth" the peaks.
This controversy about the slowdown of the old iPhone started on the Reddit discussion site. Debates that come back every year after the release of a new version of iOS. But this time it has become more controversial, and has led Apple to explain to the media.
