It was to extend the battery life, which was a workaround for the flawed battery design (contra CPU power draw). I bought an iPhone SE in the first month available and it started throttling by month 10, I'm not a battery designer, but I did not buy a device marketed as 2x the speed of 5S only for it to silently drop to 0.8x the speed of the 5S less than a year later.
- reaperducer 6y agothe flawed battery design I'm going to play the odds and guess that you're not a battery designer.

- Y-bar 6y agoI was unable to benefit from the battery replacement due to a chip in the screen they discovered after I got a CS code to do it: https://i.imgur.com/Gr1bPTU.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Gr1bPTU.jpg
- tdonovic 6y agoWhat is a CS code?
- Y-bar 6y agoEffectively a coupon code issued by a customer support representative. Apple did not actually offer the replacement program within ~600km of my home, but I managed to convince them that an Apple Authorised Service provider in my town at least do it. They agreed and gave me a CS Code valid for the the battery replacement to be done. But it was ultimately denied because of a tiny chip in the glass on the screen. I really liked every other aspect of this phone though.
