I call bullshit. If you had an iphone 6 / 6S during these upgrades you would have understood the uproar. It was a joke from Apple let me tell you that. It transformed what was the perfect phone to me, to "ugg, I think I need to buy a new phone". Without our complaints they would have never done what they did with the last update (which is great)

Which has everything to do with the unexpected shutdown and battery issues: https://www.apple.com/au/iphone-battery-and-performance/ https://www.apple.com/au/iphone-battery-and-performance/ And nothing to do with "planned obselesence" Was that a mis-step and/or defect in those devices? Perhaps. But it's clearly not planned obselesence. Honestly I'm fine if you want to chase them for the battery issue specifically but I think selling it as a general attempt at planned obselesence is complete crap.

  They should've given these customers proper batteries; instead they tried to save costs and avoid a scandal/uproar. It backfired.

  If you think that manufacturers do not create planned obsolescence for all of their products you are living in a dream world. Car manufactures have become some of the worst about this. Every company now just wants RMR, if they don't have a way to get RMR, it's planned obsolescence.

  That's your opinion. For me it was malicious. Do you have proof?

I have an iPhone 6 and it's now slow as shit. What did they do with the last update? My battery is in great shape, but the phone is just ... slow. I correlate the slowness with iOS 11.

  iOS 12 has pretty big performance improvements for older phones. I noticed a big improvement on my old 5s.

    You should upgrade to iOS12 - they very intentionally and significantly improved the speed on old devices.
