Apple scandal

"Apple scandal" is one of the best biggest corporate scandals of recent times. Geekbench, a performance testing tool, produced statistics at the end of 2017 indicating that replacing the battery increases the performance of the iPhone, making it run quicker. Many consumers previously assumed that Apple lowered the clock on the iPhone to reduce the sudden power failure when the battery inside was drained. Many users advocate changing the battery with a new one since they saw on Reddit that their iPhone has a considerable gain in processing speed and performance after replacing the new battery. This battery replacement is reasonably priced.

Apple later acknowledged this and instituted a free battery replacement program for some affected iPhone models. They also released an update that allows users to toggle this "feature" on and off. They explain this by saying: "Our goal is to provide the best experience for their customers, including overall performance and extending the life of their devices. Lithium-ion batteries are not capable of delivering peak performance at capacity. low battery or degraded battery due to prolonged use.This may cause the device to turn off suddenly to protect the electronic components. Last year they developed a feature to prevent iPhone 6, iPhone 6, and iPhone SE from suddenly powering down (or restarting) under the above conditions (by lowering the device's performance). They're now extending that feature to iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2 and plan to add support for other products in the future."
