Rather than throttle. You can show less charge. It's what other phones do.
- arcticbull 6y agoWhy would I want the phone to turn off sooner?
- rat9988 6y agoIt's still better than being slow while being on.
- arcticbull 6y agoHow is a black screen better than a device that's slower, but on?
- ivalm 6y agoWhen my phone battery is low I often can charge it. Most of the time I have opportunity to charge multiple times a day if needed. If I need long life I can switch to battery saver mode; in normal operations I prefer better performance.
- Ygg2 6y agoWhy would I want phone with worse performance?
- wtallis 6y agoPresumably, you had a phone before your current one. If so, you evidently have a preference between slower phone and no phone at all.
- Ygg2 6y agoActually I had a desktop computer before my current phone. So my preference is faster, even if it spends more time on the cord.
- arcticbull 6y agoSo get a laptop.
- Ygg2 6y agoWhy though? I find the format annoying. I use it extensively as a work computer.

We also know the machine is going to slow down. The difference on iPhone is there was no precedent and user expectation for this behavior. Apple did not offer a setting for this, though I imagine if they did almost everyone would have turned it on. Should Apple have explained this up front? Yes. Should they have replaced people’s batteries? Yes. Was this a 100 million dollar set of mistakes? Probably not. Probably much more in the loss of good will. I agree w the poster elsewhere this is a marketing and customer support problem. Sometimes apple makes mistakes and lose in court to great humiliation, like when they tried to force Apple Store employees not get paid to follow their security requirements. I think it’s good to keep the company on its toes, but this particular case seems pretty mild to me.
