heaphones can be changed at apple store if it hasnt been 1 year yet ! as for ur iphone what u should do is a backup on itunes than archive it then update ur device and if its not any better simply restore the phone and erase it and back up from your saved archived version!

not when backup files dont even work :sis: 

i tried it once and it wouldn't reload the file and i followed the exact instructions on their site .... never again :sis: 

Walk down the runway but don't puke, it's okay. You just had 10 donuts today. Without frosting.

There is literally nothing wrong with this, aside from maybe not flat out disclosing it. Doesn’t mean that all iPhone 7s are throttled. This is literally another case of “selective reading” just so you can irrationally bitch and moan. 

You can simply download various apps to check your CPU frequency and I guarantee it’ll be fine. Mine was running at peak performance.

Its really not that big of a deal and I hate this “competition” that fanboys get into. Who cares :ladyhaha:

I have never for once believed the people that argued that Apple wasn't slowing down their phones. Anyone that has every had an iPhone for more than a year knows it slows down with every yearly big update :neyde:. I'm just so surprised that so many people are shocked by this news. My iPhone 7 Plus has started to have issues the moment I downloaded iOS 11, and continues to have problems with every new update. From apps freezing, to lagging, and the battery is starting to die faster and faster. I've always admired some of my peers who have managed to stick it out with their older iPhones because I get so frustrated I end up upgrading every 2 years.

I mean I guess Apple should have inclosed these details, but I am not surprised at all once they finally admitted to it. Like duh, I been knew!

I’d rather my phone slowed down after 3 years than it crash regularly :shrug:

I don't think the two are related. Phones crash because of memory/RAM issues. Slowing down is processor related. A phone will crash on a new OS occasionally regardless of processor throttling.

Everyone in the industry uses Li ion batteries. Batteries still noticeably deteriorate, so they're not achieving much other than slowing phones down.

In Android, processor throttling (slowing down for battery) is a feature you can turn on for the battery saver mode (when battery falls below a certain percentage). You can choose to keep it always on or off.

Choose. :selena:

TBH - It's a no brainer than tech giants do this. I've even noticed that major software updates on my Microsoft Surface seem to slowly but surely drain my battery and slow down the machine. It's not JUST Apple. I hope that the lawsuit highlights the issue and hopefully encourages them to use better quality batteries and to place limits on how much software updates can affect battery life and the quality of use.

iOS is still the fastest mobile operating system. you can benchmark your old iPhone with an android phone released in the same year and you‘ll see it. 

fact is: most Android phones can’t afford doing the same thing. their operating system is already slow. 

People who use arguments like you do just prove you don't understand **** about technology, being Android or IOS. Don't compare 100€ android phones to a iPhone that costs 1000€.

lmao I wasn’t talking about the hardware. I’m talking about the operating system isolated from the physical components. iOS is faster and more efficient than Android. It’s a fact. Google it. If you compare a 1000$ Android with a 1000$ iPhone X you will notice the difference.

iOS runs its native code in C.  That code is generated by an optimising compiler (not a VM or a JIT compiler like in Android). The perk of the JIT compiler is that it supports different architectures. 

BTW: ”People who use arguments like you do just don’t understand sh*t about technology” okay tell that to my Computer Science Master Degree sweetie :awkney:
