Fix Apple's Copy and Paste problem on the Mac and iOS with these tools

What is the definition of a performance benchmark?
It means what a certain piece of technology can achieve performance wise when pushed to it's limit.
...You are deflecting, attacking and insulting other people. Why?
This throtling issue is confirmed by Apple, so there is no need to invoke unrelated performance problems.
I presented a bunch of LEGITIMATE information explaining what is actually occurring on MANY of the devices people have erroneously claimed are being throttled by Apple, when in fact this is NOT the case.
And what do you do? You either failed to read my post, or did read it, and wilfully chose to ignore the facts I presented, as they are FACTS and not conjecture, and instead chose to rebut them with the insinuation that I'm attacking you.
You are cherry picking Apple's own words to try and back your baseless claims of what is actually going on. You are obviously not open to hearing the TRUTH as to what is actually happening.
I'm not going to defend Apple for their lack of disclosure, albeit the release notes they released accompanying iOS 10.2.1 I do find to be sufficient for the function introduced. The majority of people just don't read anything, and hence this came as a bit of a shock to most. Apple should've been more upfront with this, and provided a detailed explanation at the time of the initial release.
Instead, I got presented with poor grammar, irrational interpretations, cherry picking, and complete and utter disregard to all the facts I put forward.
Let me say this again, in case you have trouble comprehending me... I DO hold Apple accountable for the way they handled the situation in the disclosure of how they were throttling the system. I applaud them from a technical standpoint, however, to come up with a way to keep iPhone’s running instead of crashing when we might need them most, and also retaining most of their performance during day-to-day use.
Yes, I do understand you. I’m science inclined, I do my home work and I know everything in public knowledge about this issue. What bothers me is your attitude - you are attacking everybody who happens to write about iphone batteries. You have this premediated stance that there is no defected batteries, just age and wear which is contradicted with simple, verified fact about iphone 7. Yes, there is number of users complaining about slower iphone after major iOS release, yes there is number of units with minor sw related bugs. Yes, there is large number of old iphone’s, but 6’s, 7’s and later are not, by any means, old. It’s just 3 years, max. But there is considerable large number of throtled iphone’s just because apple had to small to sh..y batteries. Deal with it. That’s topic of this conversation and you are just deflecting, it’s not about lack of disclosure witch is despicable but about sh..y customer service. There is no place on Earth where year or so of useful life is considered normal, even for dirt cheap chinese brands.
The wear on the battery has very weak relationship to just the passage of time since manufacture. Much more significant is things like number of battery cycles, and/or use at extremes of temperature. The battery is expected to need replacing after 500 cycles and/or due to use at extremes of temperatures, even if it is a "high-quality" battery with no manufacturing issues. This is just chemistry, all lithium-ion batteries do it and there is nothing Apple can do about it! So:- You can't just say if a phone is less that a year old its battery can't have aged.
- Even with light-medium use, one would expect a 3 year old phone to have an aged battery that needs to be replaced. I would say I'm a light/medium user; my iPhone 6 is 3 years and 3 months old and the battery has done 814 cycles and needs to be replaced.
If an iPhone is exhibiting performance issues, there are many, many possibilities for this including:- It's being throttled because the battery has aged as expected, because the battery has been through over 500 charge cycles.
- It's being throttled because the battery has aged as expected, due to repeated use at extremes of temperatures, contrary to the manufacturer's guidance.
- It's being throttled because the battery has aged prematurely due to a manufacturing defect.
- There is a rogue app/apps consuming excessive resources in the background.
- iOS bug.
- Other hardware defect such as a logic board problem.
Edited for formatting and grammar.
