Ever noticed your iPhone slowing down, lagging or completely locking up from time to time? Perhaps it is time to delete those old photos that are clogging up your phone’s memory. A recent study undertaken by Laura Trucco from Harvard University seems to suggest the issue might be a bit more controversial.
The study undertaken backs up the theory that Apple purposefully releases software updates for older iPhones which causes them to not respond as swiftly. Hence encouraging users to purchase the latest iPhone to overcome these issues. Think back to the iPhone 4 running on iOS7 with the new look interface. Yes it looked pretty – but there were many complaints of its functionality at the time.
Introduced in iOS 17.1 and watchOS 10.1, NameDrop is a novel feature that facilitates the sharing of contact information between nearby iPhones and Apple Watches by holding them together.
WhatsApp introduces a breakthrough feature enabling iPhone users to share photos and videos in their original quality on the messaging platform.
According to a recent report, the iPhone 16 series might come with an additional hardware button.
Apple does seem to be purposely cheating the buyers. Same thing happened with the iPad and older iPods which are pretty unusable now unless used for simplistic things!
I think there really could be something to this, since the last few iOS updates my iPad 3rd gen is much much slower, freezes frequently and completely locks up. It will be Apple's loss though as I'll most likely upgrade to a Surface Pro 4 rather than another iPad.
Yup my 2nd Gen ipad is completely useless unless to play music
Same thing happens in Android. It might be a conspiracy, but you also have to remember is that when each company beings out it's "New OS" they build it with the newest phones in mind. So the software hogs resources, as well as all the apps that constantly updating. I think there might be a bit of planned obsolescence in the new OS's so I think when it comes to Android 6.0 which is probably built for the next Nexus and Galaxy S7, I will stay with Android 5.1.1
My Ipad 3 ran perfect but I couldn't instal new games with the old OS so I updated and now it runs super slow...
