I have a 1 year old iPhone SE that has good battery capacity, and will last all day with heavy use. It has never shut down once due to the battery not being able to deliver peak performance. Except once a few months ago, when I was working outside for 14 hours in -10ºC. The battery drained due to the cold and the phone unexpectedly shut down, as all battery-powered devices after spending many hours in -10ºC. I didn't realize at the time, that my iPhone enabled "performance management" because there was no notification about it. It has been enabled for almost 6 months now without me knowing, and I only realized today. I disabled it now, and my phone is now much faster and like new. So thanks to Apple I now used my nearly brand new iPhone throttled without knowing it for 6 months even though it could have performed much better.
So yeah. Just want everyone to know that iOS can enable throttling without telling you, even if your battery is brand new, and it will stay throttled forever unless you turn it off manually. It's hard to see this as anything but a scam to get you to buy a new device. I wonder how that lawsuit is coming along?
