We followed him these
recent days: the controversy around
Apple's choice to reduce the speed of iPhonesto the used battery, without
informing the user, has taken on great legal and media importance.

The Apple company has just reacted: Appleapologizes in a
open letterand proposes two solutions which should make it possible to mitigate
the grievances of its users.

Apple program for changing used iPhone batteries: what you need
know (and what we still don't know)

Thus, users of iPhone 6 or a newer machine, with a
battery with reduced autonomy will be able to have it changed for $29, i.e.
a reduction of $50 compared to the usual price (probably the same in
euros).

This large-scale replacement plan, since it is global, will
start at the end of January and will be active throughout the year
2018.

It is accompanied by another important measure, namelythe addition
of a function within iOSwhich will allow us to knowand at
machine is slowed down due to a battery requiring a
change.

In the end, with this function we have the addition ofwhat iOS was missing
10.2.1, when Apple implemented the slowdown, originally
to avoid unwanted iPhone shutdowns, especially in cold weather.
