A lot of portable devices work that way...charging does work on the battery and produces heat, slowing the charging rate allows the battery to cool a little and take on more charge. Also, the risk of overcharging is reduced, which the charging circuit is designed to prevent. So the slow down reduces heat load, makes for a more accurate charge level, and as a battery reaches full charge the energy input takes a little more work to accomplish.
