Apple iPhone 因電池老他而降低效表現的事件仍然未圓滿解決,即使推出更換電池優惠價,但又惹來 iPad 同樣會被降速的傳言,最後 Apple 蘋果公司於 2018 年 1 月 11 時發出新聞稿,解釋以降速維持電池性能,並免手機受無預警重啟問題的「Power Management」電源管理功能,只使用於 iPhones 上,其他 Apple 設備不受影響。然而,Power Management 電源管理功能的解釋一出,又再引起部分 iPhone 用家的不滿,指被迫降速。

Apple CEO Tim Cook 近日受訪時表示,指近日 Apple 將會於未來的 iOS 更新中,引入更佳的電池監察功能,於未來的更新中,iPhone 用戶將可手動關閉「Power Mangement」電源管理功能。
"We're also going to... first in a developer release that happens next month, we're going to give people the visibility of the health of their battery. So it's very, very transparent. This hasn't been done before, but we've thought through this whole thing and learned everything we can learn from it.
So we want to do that, and in the situation... and we will tell someone we're reducing your performance by some amount in order to not have an unexpected restart. And if you don't want it, you can turn it off. Now we don't recommend it, because we think people's iPhones are really important to them, and you never can tell when something is so urgent. Our actions were all in service of the user. I can't stress that enough."
於未來的 iOS 更新中,iPhone 用戶將有更高的透明度及自主去管理 iPhone 的電池,如加入電池健康度、手動關閉「電源管理」(Power Management) 的選項等。但 Tim Cook 也重申,為了確保 iPhone 用家在重要的時刻都能使用手機,而降低效能實為避免不能預計的重啟問題。未來的更新中,用戶若不願意被降速,可以手動關閉 Power Management 功能,但站在 Apple 的立場,並不建議這樣做。對於 iPhone 用家,或者只是想有更多的自主?有多少 iPhone 用家,會為保持效能而冒手機出現重啟問題的風險?
