Wait, you could’ve made this so much easier... you said there was no difference. I actually agree with that, and I’ve repeatedly said that newer devices are usable (unlike earlier devices), and I’d actually draw the line at A11 devices, which is when updates improved (the iPhone 7 on iOS 15 is unusable, the iPhone X on iOS 16 probably isn’t).
You don’t have it anymore?
Similar I would never claim to say no difference because that’s unprovable and I like being in your space of “obliteration”.Things are always not as they seem as for example lag and stuttering in the original release of ios 12.
It’s more than usable, it’s fairly equivalent.
Max went to apple heaven and replaced with 15pm.
Well, so much for my request then. I’m happy for you though! You’ll get the correct iOS experience once again.
Yes I’ll get a better experience because the hardware is 5 years newer. But considering my max was 5 years old with a new battery I got an almost out of the box experience.
You’ll get a similar experience to the one I get on my Xʀ on iOS 12: a flawless one.
I may have a flawless experience with my iPhone 15PM, but some people clearly didn’t have a flawless experience on iOS 12 OOB.
It’s okay to me. Some apps are very sluggish and crash when in background sometimes — namely, Amazon Music with the new dynamic background from album artwork effect that resembles Apple Music. However, that’s an app optimization (or lack thereof) problem, not an Apple/OS issue.

They might not have, I can only speak for myself: the iPhone Xʀ on iOS 12 is completely flawless, perhaps even smoother than my iPad Air 5 on its original iOS version, iPadOS 15.
I reckon the real-world implications of security are rather feeble. The main reason why people who stay behind eventually update is compatibility. Apps, devices, and websites all encounter issues if you’re outdated enough. I have never said that staying behind has no issues.
I wonder whether you’d have those app issues on iOS 11. My Xʀ on iOS 12 has no app artifacts at all, and never has. I’m pretty sure iOS’ increased power consumption plays a part there.It’s okay to me.

Quite frankly, I didn’t feel forced to ‘upgrade’. Instead, I concluded there are finally enough hardware improvements and additions that I’d actually notice a difference — and I have in more ways than one, for example:
Who has a 15 Pro and an iPhone X or Xs they can compare?
Okay, you convinced me to participate. :) I did no manual mode selection, no adjustments, only just a tap to focus on some. Comparison 1: iPhone X: iPhone 15 Pro Max: Comparison 2: iPhone X: iPhone 15 Pro Max: Comparison 3: The rainbow is being created by a prism on a window...
Additionally, my iPhone X’s battery health is down to ~75%. But because I dropped the iPhone while cycling and the back has scuffs and cracks, Apple won’t replace the battery. I’m still keeping the X around as an extra/backup device, probably until the battery is practically useless.
I don’t think any software product is flawless. It’s not a possibility in the realm of human existence. So you have something that you’re labeling at the pinnacle of perfection , while others are complaining about stutter and lag. I’m sure there are things that are not noticed. So I’m guessing your flawless is my very good.
Any comment on my 9.7-inch iPad Pro’s very obvious, forced degradation due to Apple’s forced malware installation policy?
Umm..I'm pretty sure I've been reading throughout the thread where you keep saying that it's flawless being on the original OS. Flawless = no issues.
Can you describe exactly the calculations to ensure it’s an “apples to apples” comparison and guarantee there are no bugs that would have these calculations scale differently? Because there’s nothing like comparing dissimilar metrics.
Nonsense. I’ve tried the lightest possible usage and it can’t even match heavier usage on iOS 9.
Here’s a thread on MacRumors: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-6s-with-ios-9-3-3-suddenly-requires-activation.2222823/
And a Ferrari is not any faster than a lawn mower in heavy stop and go traffic.
Absolutely, but in my experience with obliterated devices thanks to iOS updates, the performance aspects I notice the most are those: slowness in simple tasks, like animations, the keyboard, etc. Those artifacts are, at least for me, the most annoying, and I've repeatedly seen people mention those when complaining about updates.
You’re conflating thoughts. Apple, in my experience, does try to make the user experience across iOS devices as consistent as possible. Comparing the xr to the m1 in the way you did is about the user experience, not about raw cpu horsepower of which the m1 obliterates the a12.
