Apple has been in trouble in the past for throttling their iPhone’s and slow them down because of battery wear and tear, with the company being fined by France’s competition watchdog for this practice, as well as several US states which led to a $113 million settlement.

According to a recent report out of China, as long as you change the location to France, the performance of its phones will become faster and smoother. The reason for the smoothness is that Apple has been fined by France for the throttling incident. This means that the company can not temper the performance of old iPhones in the country.
Earlier, Apple clarified that it slows down old iPhones to preserve their battery life, prioritising it over performance. Apple’s critics have argued that this is a planned strategic move – a practice of artificially limiting the useful life of a product to push users to purchase a new one. However, the company still justifies it by saying it is done to prevent iPhones from rebooting under heavy load.
It appears that new iPhones aren’t affected, as running tests of GeekBench 5 on an iPhone 12 Pro before and after changing the region to France show the same results. That’s not the case for older phones, like the iPhone 7 that the report used in its testing. Running GeekBench 5 on an iPhone 7 set to France gave a score of 298,321. Running the same test when the region was changed back to China, gave a score of 286,632. That’s approximately a 4-percent increase just by changing the region on the phone.
If you are experiencing slowdowns on your old iPhone, here’s how you can change the region to France and see if this helps in speeding up your device.
•Open Settings and tap on your name.
•Tap Media & Purchases.

•Now, tap Change Country or Region.
