You're funny because you love to contort facts, and we know you absolutely
*love* to quote *benchmarks* (especially cross-platform benchmarks) when it
suits your purpose.

Plus you know about the app CPU dasher X, which reputedly reports what you
call "peak cpu" speeds, which is like huge speedbumps put on a highway to
slow down your maximum CPU speed to less than half what is possible.

There are a few ways to check to see if Apple halved the performance of
your iPhone after just a year of use:

Here+IBk-s a list of the average Geekbench scores for each iPhone model:
iPhone 6/6 Plus +IBQ- 1400
iPhone 6S/6S Plus +IBQ- 2300
iPhone SE +IBQ- 2400
iPhone 7/7 Plus +IBQ- 3400

You *love* to quote benchmarks, especially when they suit your need.
What's your aversion to benchmarks now, when they don't suit your fixed
belief system?

Indeed they did!

updates imposed performance demands that the phones' hardware
could not meet, throttled the phones' performance, and otherwise
negatively impacted the performance and utility of the phones,"

Apple didn't say anything even close to that silly claim, and you

That's why you troll the Apple newsgroups incessantly attacking complete

You're a delusional old man who gets his only kicks antagonizing
complete strangers due to an irrational and obsessive hatred for Apple.

There's the first fact you've ever uttered in this thread.

Only you defend Apple's bonehead decisions to secretly "limit peak
performance" (aka "cap CPU speeds at less than half) on the iPhone.

"Who at Apple okayed the idea of throttling older iPhones in the
first place? Not only that, but they went a step further and decided
not to tell anyone that iOS contained code that deliberately slowed
down iPhones whose batteries were showing signs of wear. To say
that this was boneheaded is putting it mildly."

"The solution that Apple came up with for iPhones randomly restarting
was a clever one [but] the way it was implemented, and the fact that
it was kept a secret from users, leaves me shaking my head in
disbelief."

"How no one at Apple thought that this would not come to light, and
that the revelation would later snowball into lawsuits and Senate
committee probes is just beyond me."

"Rather than saying sorry, [the apology] feels as though Apple is
lecturing users about how it knows best, and that pushing out
updates that quietly hobbled devices was the right thing to do.
It wasn't."

Can you please keep this discussion about Apple products
out of comp.mobile.android? It's off topic here.

I also urge any responders to these apple threads to remove
comp.mobile.android from the "Newsgroups:" header.

Thanks in advance.
