Apple to Add CPU Throttling Feature to iPhone XS, iPhone XR with iOS 13.1 Update

Apple will release iOS 13.1 earlier than anticipated in order to correct bugs and improve the performance of the original iOS 13 update, but as it turns out, there’s also a little surprise in there that some may not like.

iOS 13.1 is expected to introduce CPU throttling capabilities on iPhones that previously lacked such a system, and these include iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR.

CPU throttling is a method that Apple used to reduce the impact of a degraded battery on an iPhone.

Specifically, Apple used to slow down the processor speed on iPhones with worn-out batteries in an attempt to provide the same battery life as before. In other words, less power equals longer battery life, and Apple employed this system on several iPhone models.

Until it got caught, that is, as the company failed to tell customers the slowdown was real, convincing many that it was the time to purchase a new iPhone.
