If you notice your iPhone speed decreases, it’s probably because of its manufacturer Apple. Surprisingly, this giant American tech corporate has admitted to slowing down their old iPhones! What is the reason behind this action? Read on to find out!

Apple admits slowing older iPhones through the latest OS upgrade!

Previously, there has been a heated debate about whether or not iPhones are getting slower with each OS update. Many iPhones have claimed that their handsets’ performance has decreased significantly. Furthermore, this theory was proven through a series of tests conducted by John Poole (Primate Labs founder). He claimed that both Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 started to performance worse since he upgraded them to the new iOS system.

And today, Apple has released a statement about this situation. The American tech giant admitted to decreasing their Apple iPhone speed purposely. As for a reason, they claimed that this is a feature to help protect iPhone against the ageing batteries problems. Moreover, these features have appeared not only on iPhone 6 and iPhone 7. The list of handsets includes iPhone 6S, iPhone SE and even future Apple flagships. The problem only disappears when you replace the phone’s battery.

Moreover, a representative has shared: “Our goal is to deliver the best experience for customers. This includes performance and prolonging the devices life.” Once you use the iPhone for a long time, the battery will start to decrease its capacity. Once the battery corrupts, it won’t be able to support your iPhone at maximum ability. As a result, your Apple iPhone might shut down suddenly to prevent any damage to the internal hardware. On the other hand, many people have claimed that this is a “planned obsolescence” by Apple. This action means that they are intentionally clogging their old devices to push users into buying new products.

Apple admits slowing older iPhones: right or wrong?

While their intention is right, it also affects negatively on people’s perception about the ultimate motive. What do you think about this situation?
