    Sorry to ruin your circle jerk - The company further told Forbes that the fix, which should come with iOS 17.1, won’t result in throttled performance, which some, like Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, have said was a possibility.

        less power = less performance

        That’s the general tradeoff but not how it always works.

        A car generally trades power for fuel consumption but things like tires being properly inflated can help with both. In the same way, sometimes inefficient software leads to both reduced performance and higher power consumption, because too much power is being directed towards unproductive use.
