  • Here you will see whether or not your iPhone’s performing to standard or not. As you can see Producer Bill’s phone is performing at a normal peak performance! The phrase “Your battery is currently supporting normal peak performance” then that’s all good and you can keep using your phone as normal. Nothing to worry about here!

More information

If it is less than 100 don’t worry either, as with all lithium ion battery’s the batteries lose efficiency over time. This is affected by a lot of different things so there’s not much you can do to prevent it. It’s just how these batteries work! Temperature of where you keep your phone, how often you use it, how often you charge it, how you charge it, all these come into play! If it’s less than 100, then of course you’re going to get less hours of use out of it, but a few percentages doesn’t matter at all.

This is where you’re going to see the state of the battery’s health, consequently your iPhone. So if you notice anything a little off, head here and you may get a slight idea of what may be going wrong!

The battery selection on system settings doesn’t really do that much. However, if you have an “unexpected shutdown” that’s when the performance management software will kick in, which Apple says is initially disabled. You’ll see a message afterwards which says: “Performance management has been applied to help prevent this from happening again.”

Who this affects?

Throttling only affects iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus and SE models as they can’t keep up with the processing power of newer iOS’s so slow the phone down to prolong the life of the phone. If they didn’t the sheer power that’s needed would start to affect other areas of the phone.

If you turned off the performance management system and experience unexpected shutdowns, you’ll have to live with it. Or turn on the performance management system and live with a slower iPhone. So you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. To rectify this, either replace the battery or get a newer phone. Apple recommends you replace them after a less than 80% maximum capacity.

Gero Lifespan: Predict your death?!

4th April 2018/in Gadgets / Tech /by billywright

Ever wanted to find out how long your going to live? If you could extend your life, based on these results, how would you react? Well the answer to all these questions are about to be answered with the help of an iPhone app called Gero! Researchers are able to estimate your expected life span through physiological traits such as your genes, or circulating blood factor. Yet this isn’t a viable option for normal folk like you and I. However, we may just have the solution. You have the device in your pocket right now! Well if you’re an iPhone user that is.

Russian scientists have created an AI-based algorithm that takes all the information from activity tracking. From things such as your smartwatch or your smartphone to estimate your lifespan with allegedly greater precision than other models of the same ilk. It’s via an app called Gero.

Gero Lifespan: How it works

They use a convolutional neural network to find the biologically relevant motion patterns, gathered from a large set of US health survey data. They then use this data to correlate both lifespans and overall health. The app is very intelligent as it doesn’t just take in to consideration step counts. It takes in to consideration how often you switch between active periods. This is alongside many other mitigating factors. Such as sleeping habits and gym visits. These are taken into consideration too. After all this is analysed the app list applies this to a whole weeks worth of data from a users phone. Gero Lifespan users data from apps such as Apple Health and Fitbit to predict how long you got to live.

While this sounds quite cool the app doesn’t provide a full picture of your health. It doesn’t take into consideration your diet, genetics or any other crucial factors. Therefore the age you get given should be taken with a grain of salt. While it may seem as just an ‘app’ Doctors would ideally use both apps and clinical analysis to give a prediction. Yet we may be a while off before we can rely on mobile apps, as apps life Gero Lifespan, aren’t ready for medical use.
