Child, please. Apple has taught a generation about planned obsolescence. Observe: 2017 lawsuit claiming Apple broke FaceTime on iOS 6 to force users to upgrade to iOS 7. [1] 2015 lawsuit alleging iOS 9 degraded performance of iPhone 4s to force users to upgrade their device. [2] 2014 article from the New York Times showing how Google searches for "iPhone slow" coincide perfectly with the release of new devices. [3] 2013 Brazilian lawsuit claiming Apple could have implemented 4th gen iPad features on 3rd generation model. [4] 2013 article from the New York Times about performance degradation coinciding with Apple's release of iPhone 5. [5] 2011 article on Apple's "innovation" of a proprietary 5-point screw to thwart hardware upgrades on iPhone 4, Macbook Pro, and Macbook Air. [6] 2009 TC article on UI becoming sluggish, random restarts, device heating up (is this starting to sound familiar?). [7] 2008 Movie rentals not being available on 5th generation iPods which were released just months prior. [8] I even found an article from 2005 complaining about the high cost of replacing the iPod battery ($250!).
