It is not just your imagination, your iPhone is indeed getting slower. In fact, Apple has come under fire in recent years for intentionally slowing down older iPhones. It has been fined by France’s competition watchdog as well as several US states for slowing down old iPhones which led to a $113 million settlement. Now, as per a new report, changing the region of your iPhone to France can make an old iPhone faster than before. This suggests that Apple doesn’t throttle iPhones' in France as a response to the country’s competition watchdog’s investigation and the fine. Earlier, the Cupertino-based tech giant revealed that it slows down old iPhones to preserve their battery life, prioritizing it over performance.
