![]() ![]() Many iPhone 6s devices were shutting down unexpectedly, even after the battery replacement program (Which many people weren’t entitled to use). Why did Apple do this? kadupse on Reddit offers the following explanation: I believe (as do others) that Apple introduced a change to limit performance when battery condition decreases past a certain point. The difference between 10.2.0 and 10.2.1 is too abrupt to be just a function of battery condition. Second, the problem is due, in part, to a change in iOS. See, for example, the difference between the distribution of iPhone 6s scores between 10.2.1 and 11.2.0. Performance and Battery Ageįirst, it appears the problem is widespread, and will only get worse as phones (and their batteries) continue to age. However, the distribution changes with iOS 11.2.0 and starts to look like the iPhone 6s distribution from 10.2.1. ![]() The distribution of iPhone 7 scores under iOS 10.2.0, iOS 10.2.1, and iOS 11.1.2 appears identical. Under iOS 11.2.0 the effect is even more pronounced. ![]() However, the distribution of iPhone 6s scores for iOS 10.2.1 appears multimodal, with one large peak around the average and several smaller peaks around lower scores. The distribution of iPhone 6s scores for iOS 10.2.0 appears unimodal with a peak around the average score. Scores obtained in low-power mode are not included in the distribution. To answer these questions I’ve plotted the kernel density of Geekbench 4 single-core scores for the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 7 running different versions of iOS. What’s going on here? How many phones are experiencing decreased Geekbench 4 score? However, users with older iPhones with lower-than-expected Geekbench 4 scores have reported that replacing the battery increases their score (as well as the performance of the phone). While we expect battery capacity to decrease as batteries age, we expect processor performance to stay the same. A Reddit post from last week has sparked a discussion regarding iPhone performance as a function of battery age. ![]()
