The Next IOS 11 Update Will Give You Control Over Your IPhone’s Battery Life, but You Probably Shouldn’t.
Apple’s upcoming iOS 11.3 update brings several enhancements to augmented reality software, several new animoji, and thankfully more granular control over your iPhone’s performance. You can choose whether you want to slow down your iPhone’s performance in order to increase battery life, undoing Apple’s previous and controversial decision to slow down an iPhone with low batteries, all without the user’s knowledge .
Here’s what Apple has to say about the upcoming update:
IOS 11.3 adds new features to display battery status and recommend battery maintenance. They can be found under Settings -> Battery and are available for iPhone 6 and newer.
Additionally, users can now see if the power management feature, which dynamically manages maximum performance to prevent unexpected shutdowns, is enabled, first introduced in iOS 10.2.1, and can choose to turn it off. This feature can be found under Settings -> Battery and is available for iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus.
The news that Apple is deliberately slowing down iPhones with low batteries has drawn criticism from affected iPhone users, with some opting to take legal action against the company . Apple has since updated its battery replacement program, discounting the previous $ 79 battery replacement to a more reasonable $ 29.
However, if you are worried about keeping your phone in good working order, I suggest you let Apple solve the whole “battery management” problem, at least until you replace the battery to turn back time on an aging device. iOS. Unexpected disconnections can corrupt data, and Apple’s battery management solution aims to prevent your phone from turning off while in use – an issue you rarely think about until your phone turns off during a call.
Whether you receive a new battery from Apple, or choose to take matters into your own hands without fear of voiding your old device’s warranty, replacing it will restore your iPhone to its original functionality.
