Oh yeah, the thing that all devices do so they don’t just shut off randomly. Apple was just punished cuz they weren’t transparent about it. Would you rather your phone slow down as the battery is almost empty, or shut off at 15%?
Lol. That is 100% not true, Fan Boy. My four year old samsung still pulls the same test numbers and frequencies as when it was new. Apple was using flawed batteries with a processor that couldn't cope and just tried to cover it up.
My almost six year old iPhone XS Max also has a very healthy battery. But if we kept our phones for a long time, when your and my batteries aren’t healthy, both of our phones are absolutely going to throttle when voltage drops. If they don’t, they’ll just shut off at 15%. It’s how batteries work.
Notice that your phone is 6 years old, and not one year old. There's your hiccup.
Also, I'd rather replace a battery in a 6 year old phone, than put up with it only being at half capacity and being underclocked so it runs like shit.
Further also, you aren't quite understanding the issue with the phones. Most phones manufacturers leave some "wiggle room" for their power demand and don't need a full 3.6v for stability (lithium batts are 3.7v nominal). Apple screwed up their power draw and screwed up their battery manufacturing.
