    More questions than answers from Apple’s statement about degrading performance to compensate for old batteries. My biggie: Does this apply to iPads too?

        Take advantage of the situation and press Apple for a response. Why would this software algorithm only apply to phones, sure it will be more important with iPad’s given the much larger battery no?

        Press Apple for a response? I admire your optimism :)

        Go and camp out at a store, it is what I have done before, made a (nice, polite and non-shouty) nuisance of myself, and it yielded the result required!

        Replacement batteries doesn’t address performance drop. My 6 has markedly degraded since the 8 launched. Issue is, that aside, no obvious reason to us grade

        Most mobile handset contracts now are 2 years BUT if it’s an Apple handset the warranty is only for first year. If the battery issue is a known problem, service providers need to also have a look at their contractual arrangements

        It's only a problem afflicting older devices. Although the second year contract limbo is something manufacturers/networks should be forced to sort.

        Bridget still has 6 months left on iPhone 6S contract. Since iOS update full charge lasts less than an hour. Not our problem say Apple and @EE

        I have contract-free IP6 (no clue which model - how do you find out?). Full charge lasts appx 3 hours (general usage). Barely gets through 90 mins if live-tweeting

        In my experience yes. My iPad is less than 3 years old and is now ultra slow. Just bought new android phone and tablet. Bye Apple.

        I imagine it does. But doesn't affect them as much as phones due to bigger battery and different usage. All the big corps plan to make their tech obsolete. Keeps us buying.

        I have an iPhone SE and an old-ish iPad (4-5 years old). Admittedly I now use my iPhone more, but the degradation in battery on it is very, very noticeable. I’m actually taking it in for replacement today because it’s at about 60% efficiency. The iPad, meanwhile, is fine.
