Have you considered restoring your device and then setting it up as a new device?
Good thought - will give that a try later - thank you

To deem people “wrong” because of your inability to understand their reasoning is in and of itself “wrong”. What doesn’t make sense for some people makes perfect sense to others. I learned that a long time ago. As for Apple’s battery replacement option, some people will take advantage of it and some people won’t.
Another option is backup/reset/restore. See Apple's Bungled Battery Feature — Michael Glenn
I don’t understand why you posted that link. There is nothing but a quick mention, much like in your reply, about doing a restore. Is that your website?

None of your Android devices have needed to throttle performance since they typically come with larger batteries that don't degrade so fast. Apple knew 100% their batteries would need throttling after a year or so and went ahead and planned to use to use batteries they knew would make the phone obsolete #plannedobsolesence
They knew the batteries would need throttling and instead of including larger batts they slowed down your phone instead. Win win for them and lose lose for you

They don't need throttling after a year or so. Maybe after 2 years or more, only if the battery becomes very degraded. It's the same affect as Low Power Mode. I've used that a few times, but didn't notice any slowdown.
Apple turned on throttling for the 6s last year with 10.2.1 presumably because it was necessary for some extremely heavy users who already had about 500 charge cycles in 15 or so months. The key thing is charge cycles; when they are about 500 on these batteries, that reportedly puts the battery in a condition where they cannot handle high drains.

It’s not a fixed number. Batteries are different one to another. There are batteries that are depleted after 300 cycles (and you should have a in warranty swap for those), while others last above 500 cycles, which is considered as “normal”. I had an iPhone 5S with over 700 cycles and still above 88% health.500 isn't that many. I probably have over 800 on my 6s Plus. No issues other than charging 3 times or more a day. Maybe I haven't had any high drains.
Absolutely agree. It’s a preemptive move to address issues for heavy usage users (and weaker batches of batteries).I pretty much share the same view as you. As for the iPhone 7, it’s arguably more of a preemptive move than confirmation of a definitive and widespread battery problem.
