Apple will let you disable iPhone CPU throttling

Reality

With the update, iOS dynamically manages the maximum performance of some system components when needed to prevent a shutdown. In some cases users may experience longer launch times for apps and other reductions in performance.

Clickbait much?

Throttling CPU is in action of lengthening an old battery life. Replace battery and it goes back to normal. But yeah fandroids will have a long day at work

You should still have that choice. Another problem was that there is no warning showing you that your CPU is being throttled.

However, what about those poor users who are not able to run iOS 11, but are restricted to 10? My iPhone 5 - which is still in perfect working order otherwise - has become noticeably slower recently (probably since 10.2.1). I'm on 10.3.3 and cannot update to 11. So, am I stuck with slow performance and the phone hanging for 30 seconds every now and then while it "thinks" to itself?

Yeah, the 5 is over 5 years old now. Outdated tech...

No you aren't...because there is no throttling being applied.

It's just old.

You know they're talking about earlier updates, not the planned one, right?

Replacing the battery should alleviate the slow performance.
