    On Safari 12, my 2015 13" rMBP scores 55, my iPhone X 89, and the new iPhone XS 125 !? Faster than the new iMac Pro ( https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1043277162676072449 )

    You have dirt inside your lightning port. Clean it up and should be fine.

    Yes and no. the solution to the problem was the correct one, they just forgot one important detail. TELL THE USER! As a result, plenty of people, (including myself) noticing their …

    And I've yet to experience a smooth web experience in an Android phone (using Chrome), or at least as smooth as on iOs..

    Does this mean the average American is shortsighted and stupid then? “But the average American has less than $4,000 in savings, while 57% of U.S. adults have less than $1,000 to th…

    Is that on the same time scale as Falcon Heavy doing it's first launch in 2013?

    If you train any sport with any kind of seriousness you usually end up needing more advanced training features, like HR pacing, zones training, intervals for speed workouts, cadenc…

    If you were still a runner, or did any type of sport with decent training, you would still be using Garmin or equivalent. Apple watch just doesn't cut it. I own both (AW2 and Garmi…

    It might be about blacklisting older versions, so users can only install the newest version like on iOS.

    Stating that a battery replacement will fix it instead of letting them suffer and increasingly slow phone or buying a new one unnecessarily.

    Apple hid the cause (an ageing battery), and purposely slowed down peoples phones without warning. If your phone randomly shuts downs, or it last less time between charges, you kno…

    Thats the sort of thing that happens when you are spoiled by buying every iPhone, never experiencing an ageing phone or even an iOs update on an older phone. It was painful to hear…

    But I bet you knew it was a battery problem, and how to fix it without buying a new phone. That's the main problem here.

    Just my case, but Apple replaced my 6s battery because of random shutdowns under the replacement program on Jan 17th. Around the release of iOs 11 (not sure exactly when because it…

    People know batteries wear out, but the expected behaviour is the phone lasting less hours between charges, or even unexpected shutdowns, but definitely not degraded CPU performanc…

    I noticed the slowdown. Never believed in planned obsolescence so I though it could be an optimisation problem in iOs 11 but problem persisted after several os updates. I finally d…

    Can confirm, my 6s with an 11 months old battery serviced by Apple, 95% of original capacity, and ~400cycles throttles between 30% and 50%.

    The problem is that there is no way for a user to know that they can spend 79$ to fix the problem. Most will asume that is has become slow and think the only solution is spending +…

    I also had mine replaced for free (6s) on the same recall program ~11months ago. The battery still has 95.7% of the capacity, with 400 cycles, yet my device is throttling the cpu b…
