The 4S was fast when I bought it. It is no longer fast and I have no way of restoring it. Apple intentionally designed newer features where older devices would be woefully under-powered and intentionally made it so that you cannot rollback to a previous iOS build which was fast.
All you've done is agree with me. What was your point?
- danieltillett 10y agoI have a 4S and love it, but I have stuck with iOS7. Never upgrade a iPhone unless the phone was first released within a year of iOS upgrade.
- chillacy 10y agoNope, you've agreed with me. > You really beleive that was intentional? Like there's some code there that says if running on 4S then run slow? You: > To spell it out - One code path is fast, one code path is slow Intentionally designing new features for new devices and potentially screwing over old devices is _way_ different than having checks that say if (iPhone4S) { sleep(300) } ------- The solution as the other poster replied is to not update your phone past 1 major version, even if apple lets you. The other solution is that Apple magically makes your processor 8x faster in a software update. At this point I don't even know what you're expecting.
