If so, and your device runs without crashing, that proves that your device was throttled by the manufacturer (below what it could do if the default OS settings used something closer to your overclocked settings.)

“Battery performance” is BS. My iPhone 6 worked just fine until IMMEDIATELY AFTER iOS 11 installation.
Did you set up your device as new, and turn off iCloud? Otherwise your old settings and data may be what's slowing it down. Nothing to do with a battery throttle.
And they were promoted as being “x times “ as fast as older models with no disclaimer that those speeds will be purposely throttled possibly resulting in performance down to previous models speeds.
You can replace the battery if you want to. Smoothing out the performance due to a battery getting older is not a bad thing. When my 5 used to shut down as the battery got older, it frustrated me.
Supposedly, that "smoothing" technique only addressed 80% of unexpected shutdown. What happened to the 20%?
Very likely even after you switch to a new battery, after like 3 months Apple would consider it is an "old phone" again and slow down the cpu like 50%
Apple of course doesn't really do this for "better user experience", it is just forcing most of the people feel like the old iphones are too slow and going to buy X or 8. If no one buying new iphone, how does Apple survive?
Depends on whether, as in this case, the manufacturer is purposely including secret code in the OS to slow your device down and motivate you to upgrade.
LOL not really for now. Iphone X sales is pretty bad. Iphone 7 sales is strong now you know people don't think it worth it at all to buy expensive 8 or X. Even for the first month of X, 8 sales is better than X. Apple is going down like it did but this time no Jobs to save the world.
Not hard to understand why Apple needs to do this kind of cheap shot now to force more people to get new iphones. iphones is the only real product they have and all other Apple stuff base on the relationship with iphone. Without iphone Apple is nothing.
It's more accurate to say sales of the 8 and 8 Plus are greater than that of the X.
Sales of the X alone are greater than that of the 8 sales as well as greater than the 8 Plus sales but not greater than both.
Sort of misleading news factoid making it sound like the X is a problem.

Wasn’t aware Apple out out numbers for the sales of the X. Or are you latching on to small, no name, analysts? We don’t know what the sales are, some analysts say the X is selling well and some are saying it isn’t. 22-24 million units isn’t anything to scoff at, which is what one analyst is predicting. And that’s just for the X.
What are you talking about? The device is sold stating its clock speeds that it runs at.we all know it will hit 2.3ghz depending on thermal conditions.
When you overclock you need to aoid the warranty and install a custom kernel and the phone tells you 100% your warranty is voided.
It' not as simple as you make it out to be.you need to raise CPU and GPU voltages and raise thermal governors and also raise memory controller voltage and the phone runs about 40% hotter and it does crash from time to time.its a tinker thing and not what the cell was made to do.
Like to get max clocks we benchmark the phone in the freezer while overclocked.
Samsung is disclosing its rated speeds and you can easily see them .apple is lowering its speeds with an iOS update and you are not getting what you paid for
Seriously that's why Apple would make up all kind of lies since there are always die hard fan like you
Apple isn't lying. Just ignore the facts and stay in a hole.

Who gave you the iPhone X sales figures?
Just like their faceid fail to work on the stage, and they made another beautiful lie. Remember Apple didn't want to tell you this until someone found it out in Reddit. Apple was just forced to make another lie.
Not talking about MacBooks. Talking phones with batteries incapable of powering the phone properly.
He’s reading analysts that say sales are “down”.

Sigh. FaceID performed as designed and the failure was the stage hands handling the phone.
Should Apple have been more transparent on power management? Maybe, but it doesn't make their decision wrong or illegal.
Yeah, I've read the fake news articles based on zero factual evidence too. I was tongue and cheek telling him no one but Apple knows the X sales figures.
Yeah, iCloud is still not as “just works” as I would like.
Clearly not. I am starting to think the 97 in his username is his birth year, indicating he has very little experience in how companies operate.
