Allow it fam grin But seriously you have a point. It is not about keeping up with the Joneses or Adenugas, it is about what I can afford and will be satisfied with. Hence why Iphones served me well. Currently on a £19 monthly contract - SIM free grin I’ll get the X when they drop the price(highly unlikely until 2019) or when I trade in or get a huge discount or Christmas comes pretty early like right this minute tongue
True say!! Coz! grin

He isn't complaining tho. He is quite better than sheeples that use their lard card to pay tithe, seeds et al in churches and end up drinking gari at home while waiting for God to do a miracle for them because they did MMM with him

Well, it's been said times without number that Apple constant update cripples iPhones but a prove just emerged and Apple admitted hence the lawsuits.

The iPhone 7 is not among the targeted ones only the older generation,by next year yours will among..

Oh I see, I hope it doesn’t get to that, hopefully they will make rectifications too. My comment was in response to a fellow commenter who said his iPhone 7 is already giving him issues

I hate Apple at the same time I love it still. Bought my iPhone 6s for 308k last year August, before December dey don release 7 and 7plus, this year 8 and IPhone X. Haba! And the price is outrageous. What do you expect people with older models to do? Throw it away? So my 308k go enter voicemail like that? Lai lai! I’m suing them in federal high court Nigeria grin grin

bro wake up hehe.

Admitting to slowing down older models of their phones does not necessarily mean it was done with malicious intent undecided
What other intent could they possibly have? Greed, at best.
Re: Apple Sued By More Than Three Federal Courts For Slowing Older Iphones by Nobody: 11:11am On Dec 24, 2017
To be honest the only thing I like abt the iPhone are podcasts. As long as I'm getting my podcasts fine, no marketing can make me upgrade to newer models. My samsung edge is a much more beautiful phone and less restrictive.

According to apple they delibratly slowed down the phones to preserve battery life.

Their stupid updates are very annoying. All of a sudden you run out of space, battery and the phone slows down. It is intentionally done to frustrate the consumer into buying a new phone. If this happens again with my new phone then I am porting to Android. The only issue is that apple provides a good level of security than android.

You probably used updated via OTA? Try restoring the os via iTunes and setup as new, you will need at least 2.5gb of data shaa..but it will bring back your phone to a much fluid experience..

What’s OTA please. I don’t understand

Over The Air....this is when you download the update straight from the server into your phone..the other method is to download the update through iTunes for a full reinstalling of the entire iOS version...

The alarming number of viruses on Android has me worried too. Also I have had a Mac Book for just over 6 years and not bought any antivirus software till date after moving from Windows. Security on Apple products seems quite robust. If I replace the battery on my Iphone 6 plus just wondering why subsequent updates won’t throttle my phone again? Contemplating moving to Samsung Note 8 or OneTPlus

How was I referring to Net neutrality?

I was only stating the fact that Apple would sustain considerable backlash based on what they've decided to do to their older devices.

I don’t think apple battery’s are meant to be replaced. So if you replace it, then you will definitely have issues. The only people that can successfully replace an apple battery is apple.

They can decide what speed to route traffic base so many criteria. Before the repeal we had uniformity of speed, and moreover it was illegal to route older device unto slower channel. That is what I was referring to.

Apple carried out a remote diagnosis and allegedly the result says my battery is ‘consumed’ so I need to have it replaced for approx £79 as long as there are no other issues? I told them I will think about it.

Oh...

So much Legal Shenanigans...

As a user, I don't really care about the legal jargons going on in the company, what I CARE about, as a user, is that Apple could have at least told me they were going to throttle my iPhone 6 due to blah blah...

Having to discover that my phone's processing clock speed has been HALVED all of a sudden, would make anyone mad (or sad at least)

And now, I have to buy a new(er) iPhone, even when I haven't planned to. Isn't this Classic Capitalism at work here?
