Apple said they learned and corrected from this event. After updating the system, they will remind users that in order to ensure that your phone does not accidentally restart, it will slightly reduce the performance of the phone.
If users don't want to control performance, they can choose to turn off the function, but Apple doesn't recommend users to do so, because Apple believes that the normal iPhone running around it is very important for everyone's life.

"Slow down" event continuous fermentation, many problems still need solution
After the exposure of Apple's "down door" incident, apple issued a note that the price of the old iPhone model will be reduced by 390 yuan, from 608 yuan to 218 yuan, which will slow down the old model.
Many places are not acceptable for such a scheme. According to foreign media reports, Apple has been involved in many class actions in the US, including Apple's "not only providing free battery replacement for the affected iPhone phones, but also trying to cover the problem."
Reporter observation found that the Apple Corp's present instructions still have many questions. Apple's iPhone model, which has a good price to replace the battery, does not include the iPhone6 models, such as iPhone 5S. Is there a "speed down" situation in these models?
When users accept the interview with China news network, iPhone 5S often receives notice of pushing the new iOS system, including iOS 10.2.1, and now pushes iOS 11.
It is worth noting that iPhone 5S users are not in a small number. Jingdong data shows that the number of iPhone 5S reviews is over 450 thousand +, which is also a classic generation, which is more than the number of iPhone 6 reviews (300 thousand +).
For speed reasons, apple said its push iOS 10.2.1 contains a software update, its purpose is to improve power management under peak load, to avoid iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone SE in this unexpected shutdown, after the update, some cases iPhone, users may find performance slow.
Since some of the early iPhone models may have reduced speed after updating the iOS system, why don't the apples open the downgrade function? On the 11 day, many netizens revealed that Apple quietly launched the downgrading channel of iPhone iOS system, almost covered all the iPhone models and versions, but then shut down. Now it is not known whether this is BUG or apple is doing the related function test.
In response to these questions, the reporter contacted Apple related departments to answer "no response".
