QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Nov 3 2018, 04:18 PM) Here we go again. How Apple is going to make you buy the latest Iphone XR, XS and XS Max. Thrillion Dollar company, in the making.  CNet :- Apple is throttling performance on the Iphone X, Iphone 8 and 8 Plus with IOS 12.1"Apple admitted last year that it slows down older iPhones to help prevent battery issues like unexpected shutdowns. But not everyone took kindly to their iPhones being purposefully throttled.
Initially, this battery throttling only applied to the iPhone 6S or older. Later it came to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. As of iOS 12.1 it's coming to the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. It shouldn't be as drastic, however, as it was on the 6S.
In iOS 11.3, Apple gave iPhone users access to its battery management tools, which let people using older iPhones turn on or off the throttling feature (called peak performance capability). In a support page updated Wednesday, Apple said that the feature will come to last year's iPhones, the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X, with iOS 12.1. But Apple points out that performance management may be less noticeable due to the newer iPhones' more advanced hardware and software.
iPhone batteries naturally degrade as time goes on, and the throttling and unexpected shutdowns are more likely to occur with older iPhones. Since the 8, 8 Plus and X are newer, their batteries are likely to be in better shape than their older iPhone counterparts.
Still, if you do suspect any throttling or battery degradation in your 2017 iPhone, you'll be able to closely monitor battery management in iOS 12.1 settings. From there you'll be able to see if your iPhone is being throttled, and turn it on or off."
  luckily i havent see my ipx get throttle with 94% battery health... almost a year coming 24th Nov  |

QUOTE(marfccy @ Nov 3 2018, 05:52 PM) did you guys even read properly in the first place? Apple only starts the throttle if you have the first reboot when the battery couldnt provide the required power man people and shallow reading  we all know lah... nobody mentioned it force throttle anyhow... why you so serious |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Nov 3 2018, 07:07 PM) CarPlay users who frequently use Waze for navigation, does your iPhone heat up a lot? Was traveling earlier, noticed it heat up quite a bit and is abnormal. Restarted iPhone and tried again still same, then I disconnected and later on plug back then it was normal now 🤦♂️ My car’s CarPlay USB port is 1.5A only. nope, my phone screen off when using waze for carplay. if slight warm could be gps from phone is in used. |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Nov 5 2018, 02:29 PM) Yes. Charging your phone through car usb chargers will degrade your phone's battery badly as power output is not stable from your car. Im not sure if power output would be more stable with branded car chargers but the cheapo usb charge would be a definate no no. unless is third party system install after, car that come built in with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, mostly not cheap car easily 100k or above i doubt the charger can be poor in quality |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Nov 5 2018, 03:10 PM) What I meant was the usb type charger that you poke into your ciggarete lighter type. The built in ones should be okay though. i know, but he is referring to usb car charger for carplay he is not using anymore my doubts is carplay usb port is come with the system itself, not suppose to be poor quality |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Nov 5 2018, 04:06 PM) I guess the initial theory is that third party doesn't have the MFI chip as Apple has not released it. However, now that I'm curious you mentioned similar wattage draw from the charger, how did you measure it btw? Tapped the signals on the cable? get something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/SZLOOP-USB-...54-86b466eb04f8some old one only usb-A, there are usb-c supported like above 4 directions, can easily check how many watts draw by phone, Volts and Amps will be shown as well.. just plug to charger, and cable plug to the tester, thats it This post has been edited by vez: Nov 5 2018, 04:13 PM |
