Apple has announced that iOS 12.1 introduces a new 'performance management' feature to the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus that slows down your device if a degraded battery is detected.This is the same feature that was secretly introduced on the iPhone 6s and led to numerous class action lawsuits, investigations, and fines against the company. However, Apple says that due to the 'advanced hardware and software design' of the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus, performance management may be less noticeable. It has also provided a way for users to disable the feature under Battery Health in Settings.
For iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus, iOS dynamically manages performance peaks to prevent the device from unexpectedly shutting down so that the iPhone can still be used. This performance management feature is specific to iPhone and does not apply to any other Apple products. Starting with iOS 12.1, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X include this feature, but performance management may be less noticeable due to their more advanced hardware and software design.
