No, your iPad isn't affected by #iPhoneSlow. Here's why! http://ift.tt/2BTGhKc Apple is throttling iPhone performance to maintain battery life and prevent unexpected shutdowns. Do iPad owners have to worry about the same thing? iOS 10.2.1 added battery health to the list of things included in the advanced power management system on iPhone. Flash forward and, after customers complained about excessive performance issues, Apple is now offering battery replacements at a reduced price and will update iOS to provide better insight into battery health. But what about iPad? Should iPad customers also be worried about performance throttling or battery health? In a word: No. What you need to know about Apple's $29 battery replacement program Why aren't iPads affected by Apple's power management throttling?Because Apple hasn't added them to the same battery health-based power management system. From Apple Support:
Apple specifically calls out iPhone — and more specifically, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone SE. It's possible that a very old iPad with very poor battery health could have trouble dealing with spikes but, since Apple hasn't added them to the power management system, they'd shut down the same way iPhone 5s and previous iPhones would. Could Apple add iPads to the same power management system?Theoretically, but iPads have significantly bigger batteries than iPhones. That means they can better handle instantaneous performance peaks over a much, much longer portion of their battery life. Never say never, but it's not something that's happening now. But what if your iPad is slow?There are several things that can affect iPad performance. Excessive heat, for example, has always and will still cause processors to ramp down on any device, including iPads. So can the cruft and bit rot that builds up over months and years of use. You can try rebooting or even backing up and restoring to improve performance. If Apple does start throttling iPads to preserve battery health, will you update?Absolutely. For now, though, cancel the red alert. What if you have more questions about #iPhoneSlow on iPad?Drop them in the comments below!
