off topic but computer related:

I have a guitar tuner app on my iPad. We learned a few months ago that Apple slows the iPad when the batteries get old. My question is, will that also introduce inaccuracy in the app’s measurement of a string’s frequency.

The slowing is done to hide the fact that the ageing batteries are unable to hold a full charge.

I don’t know for sure... But I am thinking digital files would “cut out” rather than change any parameter values? Similar to videos buffering?

As a musician myself I know one thing, there is no real replacement for the human ear. No replacement for practice, training, and testing your own ears as a first priority. :)
