trivial news: some claim apple slowed their phones intently: Apple proves they need a new battery is all, then speed is back to normal. (has to do with what the phone can handle using an old battery, amperages streams, heat, and all)
the people pressing this news? asians, who are embarassed that news of their virus hitting usa android phones can cause batteries to melt - something like a 3rd time hit for them
-----------------------------
summary: the news is a lie. apple iphone does exactly as advertised: it scales back cpu speed when battery (or heat condition cause by) does not support that speed , giving you trouble free calls and app use (if slower). buy a battery, right, knew it would come to that sooner or later who didn't?

WTOP is staffed by criminal democrats.
They are doing ads all day saying Apple admitted the issue above was criminal fraud but that's FAR FAR FAR from true.
WTOP IS FAKE NEWS
note they are getting paid by local asians who are trying to push android sales for the "after christmas sales"
NOTE: it's androids that have a new battery issue: it was found malware (any app from android app stores from tampering author) can cause the battery to destroy the phone by asking for password and executing a few cross-purposed computer requests.

let's see the facts: the android issue is not as bad as it sounds, quite rare _currently_ (but you are exposed to some military attack by xxxxx)
BREITBART article on Apple shows the complaintant admitted that he had a like 10 yr old battery - an old weak battery cannot power hot 3D apps: it's impossible and would kill the already weak battery rapidly and leave you unable to make PHONE CALLS. Let's remember it's a phone and then a toy please.
let's see the facts: the Apple phone protects it's longevity, you, so you have time to get a new battery, because we're all stupid about that kind of thing: remembering to replace a really old battery.

Apple slows old phones with updates released simultaneously with new model releases. Apple withholds information on the throttling and battery issues so that customers will be faced with slower batteries and no clue how to deal with them other than upgrading to a new phone. Apple continues to withhold info on software throttling and degraded batteries until geeks on Reddit expose this obvious performance slowing in older phones under iOS11.xxx
Apple finally acknowledges it slows older phones to improve the experience (lol) of users. Now Apple is offering to lower its battery replacement fee to $39.00 in line with other phone repair shops. You would have to be pretty dim to believe this is all just by accident.

WTOP claims apple "admitted it", however Breitbart clearly shows apple said "replace your battery" and that the complainer democrat, when he replaced his VERY OLD rechargable battery, had full speed again.
