Then just get a One Plus 5T. It does everything you mention. Speed and reliability is why we get iPhones. Performance is of utmost priority to me.
I don't read all the drivel on this forum. I talk to regular people and EVERYONE is complaining that their older phones are so laggy that it takes multiple seconds to do many things. You're intentionally trying to reduce the problem to the bare minimum requirements in an effort to explain it away. It's time to get over your cognitive dissonance and accept that this is a big problem.
It depends on how old said phone is. If your phone is 2-3 years old I think it’s reasonable to expect some slow down.
If it takes multiple seconds to do things don’t you think there is something wrong with your devices? We’ve got a 5s, 6 Plus, 7, 7 Plus, SE and X. Can’t say that any of them exhibit multiple seconds durations for anything.
Not really. A 2-3 year old phone should perform roughly similar to the day it was purchased when doing the same things. Sure, apps and updates can put more demand on the system, which would slow it down for those things, but basics like texting, touch response, phone calls, and benchmark scores should all stay roughly the same.
Some people have batteries that are further degraded than others, so those devices would run slower, which is exactly what Apple has said it is doing.
How is that an acceptable analogy ? Batteries don't impact performance except with iPhones where Apple introduced s/w code that intentionally slows it down.
Well if my it means my phone is just going to shut down in the middle of a task, then I’d say that effects performance.
No, it's not reasonable nor is it technically accurate. Electronics don't slow down with age. 3 months ago, people who complained that their phones felt slower would have been told to reset it to factory defaults
If the phone stayed on the same software as at launch then you could expect it to run as it did out of the box but the phone is not static, its gets updated.
Yes you do.
But even after 2 years avg battery wear is at around 85% with iPhones. That means you lose around 1 hour tops. This certainly doesn’t merit throttling the CPU thebinstant the Phone is disconnected form the charger.
Hey well i am not your conscience. I'm just saying that everything has a consequence. Doing nothing can have bigger consequences than doing something.
You've rationalize it very well. If you don't like it, get out. No possible other option, right?
In here alone? Nope. But over the last year or two, the pressure from MANY places has gotten Apple to ...
Maybe I haven't had enough coffee but here goes.
