Who doesn’t want to buy a phone from a company caught red handed disabling perfectly good older phones?

“Who doesn’t want to buy a phone from a company caught red handed disabling perfectly good older phones?”

This is what irritates me about Apple. I have been an Apple person since my first computer, but I have become increasingly disenchanted with them. Making the older phones run slower is disgusting. Even if this was done (as they claim) to preserve the life of aging batteries, they had the ethical obligation to let consumers know what the ‘update’ would do. Seems to me they do many things like this, including incorporating a a different charger configuration into every new laptop - so the older chargers won't work with them.

Get it right.

The “caught red handed disabling perfectly good older phones” was a legitimate attempt to prolong the life & usability of degraded batteries. Which would you rather have: a phone that runs at full speed but depletes the battery quickly and dies, or a phone that functions as long as possible but at less than full speed?

I was ridiculed by a few Apple fanboys here as a conspiracy theorist, when I posted about Apple purposely degrading phones months ago.
