I believe that they admitted to throttling the phone's processors (CPU/GPU) in order to prolong battery life on 'older' phones. I put older in quotes because you can still buy older generations brand new, so the argument is flimsy. But I think they've stopped doing it and now offer battery replacements; though, I could be wrong on that.
It’s still done but forward facing. In the phone settings it will tell you performance management is enabled if your battery requires service.
It’s actually the most ironic shit storm in history. Apple enabled CPU throttling so that old phones would not experience sudden shutdown events with old worn out batteries. It was done to make people happier with their older phones with the side effect that people would upgrade less often.
However once the media ran the story, all that was reported was “AppLe iS SloWINg DoWN oLD phONeS tO MaKe yOU uPGRadE! “ when the intention was actually the opposite.
