- 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
