In December 2017, Apple surprised the world by introducing a key feature in iOS 11.3: the battery health status. This feature arose amid a controversy over the deliberate reduction of performance in iPhones with aging batteries, known as BatteryGate which seems much closer than what actually remains of us.
The company explained that, at reduce processor speedthe aim was to avoid unexpected blackouts on iPhones with degraded batteries. However, the lack of transparency generated a stir, forcing Apple to publicly apologize and implement this new option so that users could clearly check the health of their batteries.
The section of saltud battery It was a novelty that since then allows users to review the percentage of maximum capacity of their battery and evaluate if a change is necessary. In addition, it offers the possibility of deactivating performance management, although with the risk of possible failures on the mobile.
Xiaomi adopts battery health feature in HyperOS
It’s been years since Apple took that step, and now Xiaomi has decided to follow suit by implementing a similar feature in its new HyperOS.
