Each year, Apple released a new smartphone. In addition, each next iPhone model is positioned as a more perfect. Some users of smartphones from Apple also noted a trend - on the eve of a new device old starts running slower. Author Resource Gawker Sam Biddle decided to check it a coincidence or not.
If it were not powerful advertising campaigns and marketing genius, which is famous for Apple, most users are unlikely to want to change their smartphones more frequently than once every two or even three years, said the journalist. However, the "fruit" corporation is not satisfied. In his article, Beadle refers to the material journalist The New York Times , Catherine Rempl.
"At first I thought that all this is just my imagination. Shortly before the release of iPhone 5s and 5c, I noticed that my iPhone 4 has started to work much more slowly, and it was the battery sit down much faster. After a while I realized that similar problems faced by many. I got in touch with a technician who told me that my machine just does not pull the new operating system iOS 7, and the battery of my device is designed for a certain number of charge cycles. The price of a new battery - $ 79 and pay another $ 20, I could buy a new iPhone 5c. Thus, Apple gave me a fat hint that I have time to change my phone" - quoted by RT journalist.
"So, each time updating the operating system of your iPhone, you do it slowly, and fresh firmware usually just goes along with the announcement of a new smartphone or on the eve of its release on the market" - says Biddle.
Another proof that it is not isolated cases, an increase in the number of requests with the words "slow iPhone" in Google, which occurs before the release of each new model.
Another problem that many users say Apple, is "fading keyboard". Author Adam Kruchchi site Gizmodo writes: "After updating OSes just writing SMS has become intolerable. The text on the screen began to fade after the first printed character. After some time, the remaining characters still appear on the screen, but in the process it was impossible to understand correctly the word you have written or not".
A comparison of the speed of the iPhone 4s on iOS 7 and iOS 8:
Specialists argues that with the development of technology and adding new features inevitable drop in performance of old devices. Indeed, in contrast to a home computer, we can not add in the iPhone additional memory or change to a more powerful processor.
"Of course, for progress will inevitably have to pay, but this does not in any way mean that we should turn smartphones into bricks with the release of new ones. My keyboard should not be stopping for a few seconds when I try to write the word "hello" to a friend. And the photos that I just did on my not-so and the old iPhone, should not be loaded over the years only because OSes for new "supermodels" fixed a couple of bugs. I do not ask my old phone firmware update becomes better, just do not make it worse" - the author concludes.
