Apple says iOS 11.3 Beta to introduce adoptive performance management on iPhone batteries

Apple has made iOS 11.3 Beta available for developers. This update can help solve or at least alleviate the current battery throttling issue that lowers performance on older iPhones to avoid the sudden shutdown issue that users have experienced. Apple is currently offering discounted battery replacement for affected iPhones and this iOS 11.3 system update, which will be made available to all users in the spring, should help.

Apple says iOS 11.3 improves this performance management feature by periodically assessing the level of performance management necessary to avoid unexpected shutdowns. If the battery health is able to support the observed peak power requirements, the amount of performance management will be lowered. If an unexpected shutdown occurs again, then performance management will increase. This assessment is ongoing, allowing more adaptive performance management.

Moto Z2 Play now available at Videotron, comes with free Insta-Share projector for a limited time

One fo 2017's most notable Android phone, the Motorola's Moto Z² Play is now available at Videotron, starting at $0 (or $469.95 no contract). For a limited time, consumers will also receive a free Moto Insta-Share Projector Mod with purchase.

the Moto Z2 Play feels even more premium and less delicate. The profile is thinner and the battery, unfortunately, gets slimmed down as well. You still get a respectable 30 hours on a single charge and you can juice it up to run 8-hours with a 15 minute charge thanks to TurboPower, a charging technology that Motorola introduced years ago and continues to refine to great success.
