For some time the software updates I received on my Note made it worse and worse. Itβs like each major update was loaded with crap to run on the new hardware, making the experience terrible for the legacy phones.
IIRC wasn't Apple throttling the CPU because of battery degradation and to prevent sudden shutoffs even when it showed >25% battery? In my opinion, they should've said what they were doing, and made it clear that replacing the battery would fix the issue, but I'd rather have the battery status be accurate versus an always fast phone that shuts off randomly.
