Are you surprised that your older iPhone is slowed down? Really?
Apple stated that the speed/performance was being throttled down to prevent sudden battery shutdowns.
Apparently, the power management feature was only necessary for phones with aging lithium-ion batteries. Swapping in a fresh battery should restore a phone back up to its normal speeds.
Apple is trying to quickly make amends to ward off more angry customers. Apple batteries now cost $29 for the time being, instead of the $79. Simply and go to an Apple Store or Apple certified retailer, or mail your iPhone to Apple support after initiating an online ticket. Get your batteries now, as Apple has been notorious for not being able to always fulfill demand.
The lower prices are only available for a short while so if you are having performance issues move quickly.
Apple sent a letter to their customers apologizing for performance and denied it was an attempt to force upgrades. To make amends, Apple said it would offer the cheaper replacement batteries.
Apple also stated that future iOS features t will give users more information on their battery's status in order to manage future performance.
Best of luck and let me know if the battery makes a difference.

7 年Tracey, thanks for this informative heads-up on Apple batteries. This is EXACTLY the situation with my phone. And noo, Apple didn’t email or snail mail me any advisory. So armed with my new found knowledge (thank you), I will make tracks to the nearest Apple store for a replacement battery. Thanks again!
