There’s a chart out there that correlates Google searches for “slow iphone” with the release dates of new iPhone models. This chart demonstrated the correlation over several years and models.
The thinking is that Apple includes handicapping elements in updates just prior to new product releases, hoping consumers will decide to replace their “slow, old” phones with the new model.
That’s what I was hoping this suit was about.
I saw the article on wattsupwiththat and there was a direct correlation with new iphones and slowed older phones for every iphone release. It is not the battery, Too regular and too correlated with the new phones.
If it were the battery then they are really bad engineers to design such a shortfall. Interesting that all the android phones do not suffer this battery issue. Must be better engineers.
Lesson? Turn off your iphone updates before every new iphone release- or go android, which is what I did.
