The iPhone battery health screen (and the learn more page linked to from it) makes several mentions of how Apple's battery management system aims to reduce performance impact as the battery ages. See here: https://share.cleanshot.com/bp7PtvmZ
The way this reads it would lead you to think they are referring to processor performance but could they be referring to battery performance here?
My battery was at 87% and still displaying the Peak Performance Capability setting which clearly suggests my device should be operating at peak performance but after receiving a battery replacement it's clear the performance was being throttled.
Apple only recommends and offers a battery replacement to AppleCare+ customers when the battery capacity is below 80%.
How is this clearly misleading practice acceptable after the batterygate class action lawsuit? How many customers have been mislead to think their phone is old and slowing down when all it needs is a new battery? How many unnecessary new device purchases and extra electronic waste has this practice produced?
Whenever I've tried to search online to confirm the issue all that comes up are these useless articles and videos about little tricks and tips you can do to help here and there (clear your cache etc) but no mention that just replacing your battery solves the issue entirely.
Why is no one making a big fucking deal about this???
