David Hanak A very controversial feature that was talked about almost all of last year arrived in iOS 13.1. This much-anticipated update brings a performance tuning tool to last year's iPhones. In practice, this means that the iPhone XS (Max) and iPhone XR will now also be able to be slowed down by software in cases where it is necessary.

If you don't know what this is, Apple admitted last year that it implemented a special software tool in iOS that contradicts the rate of battery wear. Once the battery wear status drops below 80%, the tool noticeably slows down the CPU and GPU, theoretically avoiding unstable system behavior. After long debates, Apple finally admitted the color and in the end at least allowed users to turn this setting off or on - with some risk.
The same setting will now appear for owners of last year's iPhones, i.e. the XS, XS Max and XR models. It can be expected that this procedure will be repeated in the coming years, and all iPhones, one year after their release, will receive this functionality.

Petr Škuta As part of the feature, Apple allows users to either use the phone in performance-restricted mode (when the battery wear rate falls below 80%) or leave it in its original state, with the risk of eventual crashes caused by the worn-out battery not being able to deliver the required amount of power under load parameters.

With this measure, Apple is trying to disgust its customers and force them to renew their overpriced products more often. It is a fraud on the customer, which should be noticed by the competent authorities and deal with it like dieselgate. Regardless of the fact that it is a friendly company.
What is the scam? I don't understand you somehow. I turn off the power limit function and start thinking about it only when some problems start. Now where is the fraud? With dieselgate it's clear, but here Apple is simply trying to let you use the best working phone as long as it can. If your battery is very worn out and you don't want to invest in replacing it, then you simply have this option - operate with lower power. No one is forcing you to buy a new phone, you just need to consider changing the battery. Do you still feel cheated?
