Ios 11.3 reaches second beta and adds a battery health monitor

Two weeks ago, the first beta version of iOS 11.3 arrived, allowing users to disable the controversial processor performance reduction feature to maintain autonomy as the battery degrades.

iOS 11.3 beta 2 includes a monitor of the battery status of your iPhone

Now comes the second beta version of iOS 11.3 for developers with a battery status monitoring function along with the solution of some known bugs and a new splash screen for the App Store and the Messages function in iCloud.

The new battery health monitoring feature is quite important for users. Currently it only offers two modes: c maximum capacity and maximum performance. Both are measured on a percentage scale.

The maximum capacity mode alerts how much battery is left with the device, while the maximum performance mode aims to inform the user if the battery will benefit from the performance acceleration function that Apple has introduced in its previous updates.

This new feature is geared towards the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, and 7 Plus and aims to accelerate performance rather than preserve battery life, an option that the user can choose whether to activate or do not.

All the controversy about the batteries arose after several iPhone 6 users revealed that the processor of their terminals had decreased their operating frequency, and therefore the performance over the months. This is due to the fact that the terminal battery degrades over time and the operating system covers the processor to preserve autonomy.
