iOS 12.1 brings performance throttling feature to iPhone X, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
FirstpostEarlier this year, Apple said that these iPhone models will not need the battery management feature. On 30 October, when Apple updated the MacBook Air, iPad Pro and Mac mini hardware at a New York event, the company also updated the software for the iPhone, releasing the latest iOS 12.1. Along with the Group FaceTime, charging issue fix that the update brings, iOS 12.1 once again brings the battery throttling feature to the last year’s iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus, in the form of a ‘Peak Performance Capacity’ tab. And that’s despite Apple claiming earlier this year that with a hardware update, these models will avoid throttling issue. On the other hand, watchOS 5.1, which was also released alongside the iOS 12.1 update, has been reported to be bricking the Apple Watch Series 4, leaving the device useless.
