Apple said an update to its iOS operating system will show the phone’s battery health and recommend whether the battery needs to be replaced. It will also let users turn off a controversial piece of software that slows the phone’s performance in some situations when the battery is flagging. Back in December, the company acknowledged that its software sometimes deliberately slows phones with weak batteries. “The battery wears out,” said iFixit chief executive Kyle Wiens, which publishes repair guides for iPhones and sells replacement parts. “That fact that they tell you (battery health) on the Mac but it’s a forbidden secret on the iPhone is crazy,” Wiens said.
