Lets hope not but I upgrade every year on a payment plan with T-Mobile so likely won't affect me if it does

So far it's much smoother and faster than any Samsung I've had

Samsung slows their devices too, or they end up that way.
One guy tried and bought multiple Note 8's and they all lagged.

At least with Apple you can turn the throttling setting off now.
With Samsung, I don't even think it's an option, unless someone knows differently.

This is not true. You are just speculating. Samsung has to post its source code to public unlike apple which hides them from scrutiny.

I don't think it's purposeful throttling with Samsung, it's their software that makes it lag.

My response to both of you about Samsung is the same. It doesn't matter the reason since the devices slow down anyway.

At least there's an option not to slow the devices down with Apple now due to all the complaints and class action lawsuit filed.

I have a s8+ which I have been using for over a year. It didn't slow down.

The problem is apple has been caught doing it after they have vehemently denied it fir years. It is premeditated.

Complete conspiracy theory regardless. People wanted more control over the phones. Apple likes to take control for many reasons (some good and some bad). There are valid reasons to slow the phone down. My Macbook Pro for
example sometimes shuts off at 65% power, despite me keeping it calibrated, cause it's 3 yrs old for example.

Main point: You're still backpedaling from your initial point about current throttling this whole time.
Customers have complete control of the throttling in their battery settings, currently,
unlike what you suggested in your news article. This fact, which I sited mentioned in the article you brought here.
