    Guaranteed Apple will have code that says:

    If phone > 2 years old:

    Slow down phone
    

    If battery changed:

    Slow down phone
    

    Etc

    They’ll still make you buy a new phone. Don’t you worry about that.

      I mean fuck Apple and all but what they were doing with downclocking the CPU of phones with aging batteries was absolutely a good thing for users.

      If they didn’t do that, the phones would have randomly shut off as the voltage dropped. Their misstep was not telling people about it.

        Which if you have a replaceable battery it it’s not an issue
