This is what bothers me about iOS devices the most.
Unlike the Mac OSX upgrades, iOS upgrades seem to slow down the devices. iOS upgrades turned my 3G into an unusable mess. The same happened with my iPad 1.
My iPhone 4 slowed down noticeably with iOS 6.0, and even though I stopped upgrading after 6.0.1, it's been getting progressively slower-- and 95% of what I do on my phone is email, rss and browsing.
- frank_boyd 13y ago> iOS upgrades turned my 3G into an unusable mess It's their strategy to push us to consume ever more goddamn iPhones. We need to stop that.
- slantyyz 13y agoI have to admit, I found it extremely refreshing how the last couple of OS upgrades for Android actually made my Nexus 7 faster.
- seiji 13y agoStop advancing software because people want to run a seven year old hardware platform?
- derefr 13y agoI'm running Windows 8 on my 2007-era notebook. Runs a lot faster than the copy of Vista it was designed for, actually.
- frank_boyd 13y ago> Stop advancing software Nobody said that. Apple can "advance" software for the newer devices and just patch the security holes for the older ones. Nobody's asking for downgrades.
- slantyyz 13y agoI have a 3 year "recycle" policy with my own hardware. My iPad 1 became unusable in less than 3 years. It doesn't feel good to spend ~$800 (a 64gb wifi with taxes in) on a device only to have it ruined by OS upgrades. If Apple let you downgrade the OS easily, I probably wouldn't be nearly as pissed about it. --edit-- In retrospect, I feel like a fool for plunking the extra $ for the 64GB model, thinking that it would help 'future proof' my purchase.
