Re: [sussex_mug] iOS 11.3 a treat of an update on older hardware
Yup, sure enough, iPhone shutdown at ~18% (as it has for ages!) and when I rebooted, I was told I was in battery performance management mode. For the past few days the iPhone has been laggy and a pain to use. Turned that mode off and it's buttery smooth again. Hmmm, was it just PR about the "throttling" then? The performance management spiel might be true and technically get better use from the battery, but it makes the iPhone a bore to use and certainly 'nagged me' to upgrade. With it turned off, I'd rather simply a new battery and keep going. It works just fine!

[sussex_mug] More on iMac problems with High Sierra
I am convinced that there is something very wrong with High Sierra 10.13.4 on my iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015), and I have found many people asking questions of Apple with no answers so far. Following my previous problems with the Mac getting stuck on the start up progress bar, I erased the hard drive and reinstalled the OS. I then put all my files back in place with Migration Assistant from my Time Machine back up. Here are the problems now: • Lost icons on program (Affinity Photo). Before the wipe and reinstall, both Notes and Photos had lost their icons. • Sleep Wake failures. I have set the Mac to never sleep, yet it still does. When it wakes from sleep, programs have to load again, including Finder. • Screen Saver problem. I have turned off the screen saver (it is set to Never come on), yet it still activates after a long period of inactivity (not sure how long). • When I shut down the computer, I am nervous that it will not start up properly as before the OS re-install. It seems to take a long time to start up, but that may be because I am watching it more closely. I am hoping for a software update from Apple very soon!
