I am convinced that Microsoft has done this to their old operating systems by sending “updates” that cause the system to run poorly so that you will be induced to upgrade.

Newsflash: battery life is not a constant! After 500 cycles they lose capacity.

Buddy of mine still uses an iPhone 1. Never upgraded. Still works fine.

I suspected something. A month or two ago, I downloaded the Apple "update," the new operating system, on my iPad Pro which I purchased brand new last Spring. I have noticed that the iPad is slower and not as responsive as before the update. I am not going to download the update on my iPhone 7 which I just purchased new during the Summer.

The company on Wednesday acknowledged what some people have long suspected: that it has been secretly stifling the performance of older iPhones.

It has nothing to do with the battery, the slow down is hard coded.

I suspect they did the same to older iPads. I have two iPads, one of the older iPad 4 with the larger charging port and a new thin iPad. At some point there was an update and the old iPad slowed to a crawl on the internet. The apps worked fine but surfing the net became all but impossible.

What if a car company purposely made your car more inefficient every time brought it in for service?
Apple does not own my phone. I purchased it. They are crippling my personal property. This is a blatantly dishonest business practice and I hope Apple gets slapped with a huge class action lawsuit.

Fantastic analogy. I’ve been an Apple person since I started using computers, but I am fed up with them. They are the anti-capitalist robber barons.

I don’t know about Micro$oft, but Firefox most certainly has. Except I ‘upgraded’ to Brave instead of the new flavor of Firefox that would have killed off my scriptblockers and spyware killers.
