The problem is, there are other people in the thread claiming their iPhone 6 or iPhone 7 were also performing poorly according to Geekbench. Surely iPhone 7 isn't / shouldn't be affected by this batch?

If this is true that apple throttle its performance due to battery Cycle, I will pissed too. Apple should have noted to me within iPhone that i should get a Battery replacement in the Apple Store, or I will be bringing my own Battery Pack when I am out.

After 24 hours and putting lots of thoughts into it, I could not even argue for Apple.

Out of the bulk load of Energy Usage, CPU is not even the primary area where energy are used.

40%+ is the Display 20%+ are the Network Connection, WiFi or LTE. 10%+ are RAM, NAND, etc.

I am guessing around 20% is the CPU and GPU. So they lower this and try to save 10% more battery in response to lower battery cycle?

And they have an Financial interest to slow your phone. This makes me sick.

And I consider myself an Apple Fan.
