That was fast... unlike old iPhones: Apple sued for slowing down mobes • The Register
'One day after Apple acknowledged that it has been downclocking the CPUs in older iPhones to prevent sudden shutdowns from battery exhaustion, the first lawsuit has arrived. '
'The court filing contends that Apple deliberately kept quiet about its CPU limitation scheme to fraudulently maintain or drive up sales. ', "The Cupertino idiot-tax operation's mobile operating system silently slows down the processor in older iPhones to ensure they don't rapidly drain their aging batteries, which suffer from a reduced capacity."
'And while that slowdown avoids previous-generation iPhones unexpectedly shutting off, due to exhausting their weary batteries, it also means apps run sluggishly. '
'There is no on-screen warning this is happening, so iPhone owners were left wondering why their handhelds were performing so poorly. '
