    Just give me a performance slider so I can slow my phone down myself when I need it.

    Anyway I have an android, battery lasts 2-3 days with normal usage (like 3h SoT per day for 3 days usage) so I don’t think I’ll have to worry about battery - and batteries are getting better with every new model, we’ll eventually reach a point where they’re a non-issue

      It was more that older batteries can’t handle the power draw, so they would shut down if the power draw spiked by an expensive operation.

      It was a really bad user experience so Apple throttled so phones wouldn’t crash.

        Oh I thought it was just to get some extra juice out of the batteries, thanks for the info
