Apple will be more transparent about the iPhone's battery performance. Issues surrounding consumer law concerns with Apple were raised last year after it said iPhone users were not being clearly warned that their phone's performance could slow down because of a software feature designed to manage battery demands. In December 2017, Apple was forced to apologise after iPhone users found out that the Cupertino company was ‘throttling’ phones when their batteries degrade. Since then, Apple has also added new battery health monitoring tools to its iOS operating system, which allows users to track the health of their device's battery, and has a support page on its website which explains how the iPhone battery and performance are linked. The announcement said Apple had formally committed to 'provide easily accessible information about battery health and unexpected shutdowns, along with guidance on how iPhone users can maximise the health of their phone's battery'.
