The other "genius" thing Apple did is force people on the iOS treadmill. Your iphone keeps getting slower and slower, apps you paid for stop working, and you keep buying new iphones and new apps all over again. I don't believe it was a Machiavellian smoke-filled-room type of thing, but it just ended up that way, and hey look, apple just so happens to have made some cash off of that.
- criddell 10y agoIn my experience, that isn't true at all. In fact, I've heard the opposite. When iPad sales slump, one explanation is often that everybody's old iPad is still working great and people have no reason to upgrade.
- ksk 10y agoI have personally seen atleast 20 iphones (family and friends) progressively slow down over each iOS update. I'd challenge anyone to take an iPhone 4S, for example, with iOS 5 vs iOS 9 and tell me they're equally fast. Whats worse is Apple intentionally blocks you from going back to the 'factory state' on a device you paid hundreds of dollars on. >When iPad sales slump, one explanation is often that everybody's old iPad is still working great and people have no reason to upgrade. Yes, that sounds about right.
- criddell 10y agoMy phone is an iPhone 5C and thankfully it hasn't slowed yet. I did have to remove a bunch of stuff to get the last upgrade to complete though. Once the upgrade finished, I was able to reload everything.
