For anyone who still thinks the iPhone throttling wasn't *secret*,
*drastic*, and, most importantly, *permanent* - read this article.
*"There is no way to toggle Apple's hidden throttling on or off**within the company's iOS software. Instead, the only way to disable**an iPhone slowdown is to install a new battery in your phone."* How to take advantage of Apple's $29 iPhone battery replacement program right now

First the iChuckleHeads break your iPhone with a software update and now they offer to repair it with a $29 iBattery? Nice racket.

FALSE. It was mentioned in the iOS 10.2.1 release notes as anyone with a web browser and half a brain cell can plainly see:
"iOS 10.2.1 includes bug fixes and improves the security of your iPhone or iPad. It also improves power management during peak workloads to avoid unexpected shutdowns on iPhone."
There's nothing "secret" about this.
FALSE. The feature only activates when apps cause *peak* spikes in performance, which doesn't apply to the vast majority of apps, and only takes effect on devices whose batteries are at the end of their lifespan and cannot provide the needed current without prematurely shutting off the device, which extends the runtime of devices with dying batteries - that's something most people want. Hardly "drastic".
FALSE. The feature activates only on devices whose batteries can no longer supply nominal current and only during *peak* resource consumption, which means most apps are unaffected since most do not cause peak spikes in performance. And replacing the dying battery with a new one returns those *peak* spikes back to 100% performance. Nothing "permanent" about it.
Troll on...

Did you happen to notice the Apple Apology?
Do you think Apple accidentally apologized for nothing?
Did you happen to notice all the lawsuits?
Do you think they accidentally allege Apple did nothing wrong?
Did you happen to notice that *all* the Android manufacturers said they'd never do to their customers what Apple did to you?
Or are you blind to facts?

I happen to see that you dislike facts when they don't fit your troll narrative.
