It's not voltage, it's discharge rate, which is directly proportional to capacity. All else being equal, bigger batteries can supply more current. It hasn't cropped up in the Android camp because Android phones use bigger batteries.

- Scoundreller 8y agoWhat about physics? A colder battery will have a slower chemical reaction and may not be able to supply enough current to avoid a crash without throttling.
- jdietrich 8y agoA phone should be able to operate reliably within it's thermal specifications. It's perfectly reasonable for a phone to occasionally throttle because it's unusually hot or cold, but it's exceedingly shoddy for throttling to be routinely used to mitigate an under-specified battery.

- jdietrich 8y agoAccording to The Register, Samsung were fined because they pushed Android Marshmallow to the Note 4, not because of any sort of battery-related throttling. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/24/apple_samsung_fined/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/24/apple_samsung_fined...
