Apple does throttle your phone when your battery degrades. They do it by default because it helps avoid situations where the phones would shut down completely before the battery empties. There was a class action on this, and now they allow you to toggle this feature off:

- Gigachad 4y agoIt must be insane being a manager at these megacorps. Imagine fixing a bug at work and accidentally kicking off a decade of bad press, memes, and legal issues because the fix was not communicated perfectly. I agree they should have explained to the user better, but imagine how many minor behind the scenes fixes they have to fix and can’t possibly bother the user with them all. I can see how these things slipped through.
- MBCook 4y agoWhat if they told people it was happening from day one? “Apple’s latest update tells people they have to buy new phones!” Apple bashing (really any mega-corp or FAANG) gets so many clicks I’m not sure there was any decent option.
