Apple Now Faces 26+ Lawsuits for 'Purposefully' or 'Secretly' Slowing Down Older iPhones

I remember having auto brightness on or I could chose off. But Apple took it away. Now auto brightness is on all the time! A painful in the ass! Now I chose not to have a passcode on. Just so I don't get locked out. Like I did before. Grrrrr!

it is not taken away, they just moved the setting to under general/accessibility/display accomodations

Lots of stuff inside these high performance SOCs is trade-secret or under NDA. Even by non-profit organizations. Ask the Raspberry Pi people about drivers for the GPU in the SOCs they used.

Because they used slower, less powerful, processors. Some only single core, some only 32-bit. The processor core in the Apple A8 chip was twice as fast as the the A7 processor core for the 5s, and left even older processors (and the competition) in the dust.

So once again. Your saying that Apple is using a battery that can not properly power the phone?

Nope. Non-zero, but also not 100%. I have several old iPhones, all updated, none of them slower (according to benchmarks) than when new. Many others report the same in several other MacRumors forums. So it’s not just me.

But the statistics here are all biased. I can’t wait to find out what the real percentage is from an independent research report. It may well be only a few percent have bad batteries too early.

yes but a few percent is millions of phones

That’s not what I interpreted as being said. Batteries age and when they age beyond a certain point, it may be the phones draw more power than the batteries can provide.
