An issue that already seemed out of date returns to the fore, we are not talking about anything other than the mythical iPhone performance crash that took place between 2017 and 2018. As you well know, Apple unilaterally decided to limit the power of the iPhone processor with lower battery capacity. in order to prevent them from turning off suddenly.
Time passed and Apple gave various explanations on the matter to conclude that "it would not do it again." However there are news, the Cupertino firm signed an agreement with the UK regulator committing to notify users before any performance decline is carried out.
It doesn't really make much sense if we take into account that during the past year 2018 the North American company decided to consider the matter settled launching an update of the operating system that avoided any type of performance limitation, something that they had introduced into the operating system without the consent of the users. Now we realize that this went far beyond simple press and anger from users, some competent bodies such as the Competition and Markets Commission of the United Kingdom put the cards on the table.
I announce that we have signed a formal agreement by which all persons must be notified when a firmware update involves changes or significant impacts on the performance of our mobile devices.
It is ideal that government entities continue to protect the consumer above all else, and reminding companies that no matter how large they are and for all the power they have, they must continue to submit to the rules of the game so that competition is healthy and above all so that consumers are the only and true beneficiaries of all this.
