One of the most anticipated news of the upcoming iOS 11.3 update is the ability to turn off the artificial slowdown of the iPhone, which is caused by a software measure that is triggered in cases of low battery. Apple really angered a large part of its user base with this (long-secret) move, and the possibility of such a shutdown is one of the attempts about "reconciliation". About the fact that a similar function will appear in iOS, Tim Cook reported at the end of last year. A few days ago, it was revealed that we will see this switch in the upcoming iOS 11.3 update, which will arrive sometime in the spring. Those who have access to the test versions will be able to try this new feature in just a few weeks.

Information about the February launch of this feature appeared in a report in which Apple responds to questions about the investigation of the Senate committee in the US. In addition to confirming that Apple is cooperating with government authorities, we were also able to learn that the option to turn off so-called throttling will appear in the next wave of iOS 11.3 beta versions. The early phase of both open and closed beta testing of this new iOS version is currently underway. Apple updates the tested build about once a week, which includes various news.

You can participate in beta testing either as a developer (i.e. by owning a developer account) or if you sign up for Apple's Beta program (<a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>). Then just download the beta profile for your device and install the latest beta version available. The mentioned throttling function disables the tool in iOS, due to which the performance of the processor and graphics accelerator was limited due to the worn battery. As soon as the battery in a given device reached below the specific limit of its lifetime, while maintaining the maximum possible performance of the device, there was a risk of instability or accidental shutdown/restart, because the battery was no longer able to supply the required amount of voltage and electricity. energy. At that moment, the system intervened and underclocked the CPU and GPU, minimizing this risk. However, this resulted in a significant reduction in device performance.
