There wasn’t a slowdown prior nor an improvement after. Iow phone was operating as it should except with a decaying battery. QED: nothing has been proved except the battery died.
Did you replace the battery through Apple or any other store or yourself?If you didn't notice any slowdown before how can you notice an improvement? Most people found their 6s slowed down first and on further investigation it was discovered to be a result of battery wear. The intentional slowdown is backed by numbers.
Prior to battery replacement, the 6s scores are as low as the 6
Post battery replacement
You are now bringing your anecdotal experience into this. There is nothing anecdotal about geekbench scores. That Reddit thread has many users showing screenshots of how geekbench scores skyrocketed after replacing the battery from an Apple Store. If we are talking anecdotal experience, I notice a lot of lag on my 7 after upgrading to 11. Perhaps you won't but in the case of the 6s benchmarks are undeniable facts.
It's not my 6s. The guy says he replaced it at the Apple Store in his post.
As you are attempting to use one anecdotal geekbench score as proof. Still anecdotal.
Still anecdotal, and there is no getting away from it.
Why does the guy have to pay to get this fixed when it's not his fault in the first place?And how many anecdotal experiences need to be established before a problem is defined? Because that statement can be used even if 1 customer doesn't have an issue out of 999 customers.
Mine was fixed for free.
Well then we can clearly state that the Note 7 didn't need to be recalled nor was there an issue as long as there was 1 person on this planet whose phone didn't catch fire. The Pixel display is not problematic as long as there is 1 person on this planet who got a unicorn? Is this what's being suggested?
Apples and oranges. One can’t prove every note 7 battery would explode but that is not what recalls are about.
Wouldn't it be even better not to slow anything down and make the phone run out of battery in mere hours instead as that would be quite inconvenient for people to get them to buy new devices?

Then arent those customers who are having the issue entitled to a free replacement for the lifetime of their device for this particular defect or should they be thrown to the wayside because note every 6s has this? As has been posted so many times, even if a small userbase upgrades because of planned obsolescence its a win
They are intentionally apathetic and this can be malice. They dont bother optimising for older devices so the owners of the older iPhones feel frustrated and get a newer phone believing theirs to be old. This news break is case in point. They underclocked the CPU of the 6s not giving a damn about the performance of a year old phone for the 6s users and now they are asking the customers to pay for a new battery or get a newer iPhone instead of a recall which is their own fault in the first place.
There is nothing to be subtle about. They don't have to do anything at all for the worn out batteries not to perform well and keep up win the regular performance. It's simpler and better as far as getting them to the goal of getting people to upgrade. Unless you are saying that there isn't just some malicious conspiracy in play but it's specifically more wasteful and complicated to be less impactful than simply not planning or doing anything at all. The logic not only doesn't add up there, it's simply not present in all of that.
This seems to be an issue with the 6S. iPhone 6 and 7 are unaffected it seems.
Yeah, that doesn't prove some sort of malicious conspiracy. But we all know that since we've all covered it many times before.
Its also affecting the 6
I think Apple will issue a statement about this soon. Its getting some traction.
Since planned obsolescence doesn’t exist within Apple products and you can’t prove why anybody upgrades this is just hyperbole plain and simple.
Can you prove any of this?
One user out of 90 million doesn’t seem like a trend to me. In fact it’s the perfect definition of anecdotal.
Sure, but all that is separate from what I was trying to point out in relation to the whole supposed malicious conspiracy part of it all.
