\u00a07 signs Apple may be slowing your old iPhone<\/p>\n

When should you seek out Apple’s new $29 battery replacement? Here are some pretty good indicators.<\/p>\n

DECEMBER 31, 2017:\u00a0On Thursday, Apple apologized for failing to tell us the truth right away: The company had been secretly throttling the speed of older iPhones to keep them from unexpectedly shutting down. The fix? A newly inexpensive battery replacement — just $29 for any iPhone 6 or later, starting in January 2018. (It normally cost $79, but Apple’s making it cheaper as part of its apology.)
\nBut how do you know when your iPhone’s being throttled? When is it truly\u00a0worth taking a trip to your local Apple Store and handing over your precious device?<\/p>\n

According to Apple, there are seven signs that a worn battery may be causing Apple’s software to slow down your device. \u00a0 They are:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
    \n
  • Longer app launch times <\/strong>— Force-close your apps. Do they take longer than normal to launch from scratch?<\/li>\n
  • Lower frame rates while scrolling <\/strong>— Does your screen seem to stutter when you’re scrolling down webpages and through homescreens?<\/li>\n
  • Backlight dimming <\/strong>— Does your phone’s screen no longer get as bright, even when you set it that way?<\/li>\n
  • Lower speaker volume by up to -3dB <\/strong>— Do your speakers no longer get as loud?<\/li>\n
  • Gradual frame rate reductions in some apps <\/strong>— Try this with intensive games, in particular.<\/li>\n
  • During the most extreme cases, the camera flash will be disabled as visible in the camera UI <\/strong>— Can you not even use your phone’s camera flash anymore?<\/li>\n
  • Apps refreshing in background may require reloading upon launch <\/strong>— Apps that normally pull in new data, even when you’re not using them…did they stop doing that all of a sudden?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    However Apple says the following parts of your phone aren’t impacted by battery-related throttling at all:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Cellular call quality and networking throughput performance<\/li>\n
    • Captured photo and video quality<\/li>\n
    • GPS performance<\/li>\n
    • Location accuracy<\/li>\n
    • Sensors like gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer<\/li>\n
    • Apple Pay<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      So if you see those things fail, you may have a different issue.<\/p>\n
