#iphone slowdown

Last week, Apple sent a statement admitting that they are slowing down iPhones with old batteries or low charge to prevent sudden shutdowns. In a letter published on December 28, 2017, Apple said that they've been hearing feedback from their customers on the way they handle performance for iPhones with older batteries. To address customer concerns, Apple is reducing the price of an out-of-warranty iPhone battery replacement by $50 — from $79 to $29 — for anyone with an iPhone 6 or later whose battery needs to be replaced, starting in late January and available worldwide through December 2018. In early 2018, Apple will also issue an iOS software update with new features that give users more visibility into the health of their iPhone’s battery, so they can see for themselves if its condition is affecting performance. After over two weeks of using the iPhone 3G, I can fairly say I have become familiar with this mobile device to share some insights on how it fares as a primary mobile phone. In a way, I regard the iPhone 3G primarily as an internet device and media player that has the cute feature allowing you to make calls and send SMS. That being said, if you are a heavy SMS user, then the iPhone is not for you.
