Today, Apple formally issued a statement apologizing to consumers about lowering the performance of the old iPhone, but stressed that it did not take any measures to intentionally shorten the life of any given Apple product.
In addition, for the 'old iPhone slowdown' Apple also gives specific solutions: to the insured iPhone battery replacement costs dropped from 79 US dollars to 29 US dollars and early next year will release a software update to facilitate users to view battery health information.

Later, after a large number of Reddit users ran GeekBench on the iPhone 6 / 6s, they found that the iPhone 6s running point data was greatly improved after the battery was replaced. Based on these cases, Reddit users reached a conclusion that the old iPhone 6 / 6s Caton slowed down And the aging of the battery.
Later on, for this conclusion, John Poole, founder of Primate Labs, a developer of the Geekbench 4 software for running the US sub-system, targeted at devices such as iPhone 6s and iPhone 7, respectively, on iOS 10.2, iOS 10.2.1, iOS 11.2 test, the data proved the conclusion.At the same time, Poole also found that Apple each time by changing the iOS system to limit the speed of the processor.
