Lately, the giant Apple he is in a big scandal that has reached global proportions. The reason for this scandal is as serious as can be.

Over time, the Apple company intentionally made changes in iOS, menite sa shorten the battery life of older iPhone models. Logically, for an iPhone fan, this performance degradation means to remove money out of your pocket for purchasing a newer model. And the prices are not at all low, if we are talking about iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X.

After several specialized agencies repeatedly drew attention to the unjustified changes in iOS, with the aim of requires more of the processor (CPU) and default battery, the Apple company was forced to recognize public this practice less clean.

Currently There were no concrete sanctions and an ongoing investigation is not announced, however Communication from the Commission of South Korea asked for a response from Apple on this practice intentional slowdown of the older models of the iPhone, It is very possible that in the near future we will witness a fraud investigation on the American company.
In the opinion of many, slow deliberate and intentional reduction of the life of a device, without notifying users, is subject to fraud. Which is very true.
In many States have established associations of owners of iPhone having already made actions in the courts against Apple. Someone even asked for one ridiculous $999 billion in damages.

Speaking of concrete data, here's how your iPhones degraded with the installation of a new version of iOS.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus - Sudden shutdown and sudden battery drop to 0%

If you are an owner iPhone 6s and noticing the phone closed suddenly, although it shows that it still has battery, you must know that you are one of the hundreds of thousands of iPhone owners affected by this problem. In some cases, the iPhone 6s shuts down suddenly even if it indicates a percentage of more than 50% battery.
Normally, the battery of an iPhone reaches 80% of performance capacity (not at load level) after approximately 500 load cycles. With the changes made in iOS, some iPhone 6S batteries failed after less than 100 charging cycles.
A test made by Geekbench shows us how resource consumption has evolved on the iPhone 6s, from iOS 10.2.0 to iOS 11.2.1.
You can see the resource consumption of the battery in the same scenario, for iOS 10.2.0, iOS 10.2.1 and iOS 11.2.0.

The evolution is very obvious. In iOS 10.2.1 we have a consumption located at the average values ​​between iOS 10.2.0 and iOS 11.2.0, the latter being a destroyer of battery even if the iPhone 6s is on standby.

iPhone 7 - Does the battery drain faster after the iOS update?

Very possible. iPhone 7 has been a little over a year since its launch, but the prices for these devices have remained quite steep. However, the Apple company would have the iPhone 8 and iPhone X models for sale. In this sense, with the release of iOS 11.2.0, the working time of the battery of an iPhone 7 started to decrease suddenly.

The difference between iOS 10.2.0 and iOS 11.2.0 is quite obvious, both for iPhone 6s (which is also the most affected) and iPhone 7.
Next, Apple released iOS 11.2.1, but although this problem was starting to take shape in the community of iPhone owners, no improvements were made.
It is shown in an experiment that after the battery charge level drops below a certain percentage, the functions of the processor also decrease, which automatically leads to a decrease in performance in applications, games and the interface. Normally, the CPU should go to maximum capacity until the battery reaches 1%, but the decrease in these performances in applications causes many users to take money out of their pockets and buy the newer models.
