If you regularly follow the happenings in the technological world, then you certainly did not miss the fact that shortly before Christmas, the case of Apple slowing down older iPhone models surfaced. The Californian giant does this for phones with dead batteries. The reason is said to be to ensure a smaller load on the battery, which might not supply a sufficient amount of energy for the components at high performance, which would lead to spontaneous restarts. Apple he finally admitted to the deliberate slowing down, so many immediately wondered if other manufacturers were doing something similar. That's why Samsung didn't keep us waiting long and gave an official statement reassuring all his supporters.

Samsung has assured everyone that under no circumstances does it software limit the performance of processors on phones with older and worn batteries. The performance should be the same throughout the life of the phone. Samsung also let us know that its batteries have a long life thanks to several safety measures and software algorithms that are used both during use and charging.

Samsung's official statement:

“Product quality has been and always will be Samsung's top priority. We ensure extended battery life for mobile devices through multi-layered security measures that include software algorithms that control battery current and charging time. We don't reduce CPU performance through software updates for the lifetime of the phone."

Na Apple lawsuits are rolling in

There has been speculation for years about software updates deliberately slowing down older iPhones. But only now have users discovered that the reduced performance is related to an older battery - as soon as they replaced the battery, the phone suddenly performed rapidly higher performance. Apple commented on the whole case after a few days and stated correctly that the slowdown occurs due to the prevention of spontaneous restarts. Due to the natural degradation of batteries, their performance also decreases, and if the processor were to ask for maximum resources while processing more demanding operations in order to achieve the highest possible performance, the phone would automatically turn off.

However, the whole problem lies in the fact that Apple did not inform its users about the reduction in performance. He admitted the fact only when the public began to pay attention to the whole incident. Above all, for this very reason, lawsuits from all sides immediately poured in on the giant from Cupertino, the authors of which have only one goal - to sue for hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.
