I'm surprised it's Apple that's getting sued for this and not say, LG. In general Apple phones have much longer lifetime than most.

- simonh 6y agoNew iOS versions get bigger and run more services and more complex software, so since Apple makes new OS versions available to as many older models as possible, this is inevitable. It's not a problem on Android, because new OS versions rarely make it to older phone models. That doesn't mean this isn't a real problem. My wife's old iPhone 6 was noticeably slower than even my 6s, to the point where I dislike using it, but she just got used to it until we got her a new phone for Christmas.

- simonh 6y agoThe subject of this discussion is non-technical consumers selecting default options, getting their phone OS automatically updated and then wondering why their phone is a bit slower. They're not making an informed choice about upgrading their OS, and are getting an unexpected behaviour they're not happy about. This generally doesn't happen on Android because automatic major OS updates don't generally happen. You upgraded your phone yourself and you know what you're doing, so if you had a problem with performance or otherwise you've got no recourse against the carrier or phone manufacturer.
