Reports that the Apple group in America, famous for it's mobile phones called the iPhone, are paying out in America after claims that the company deliberately slowed older phones. Tom is not sure if these reports are true. Similar action is pending here. What actually is happening here. It's all over the news. |

"It's a battery saving measure. They slow the processor to reduce power consumption. They never told customers."
Really? I thought it was planned obscelence. Do constant, pointless updates that drain processing power and battery for no real point other than "forcing" you to upgrade. |

That's "probably" the actual reason, but Apple said they did it to protect aging batteries.

Having spent many past years in the phone industry. It is very coincidental that when they release the new phone with new version software. That the new software not being optimised for older phones does run slower than old versions of software. There is evidence which shows a dramatic increase of complaints to them maker about sluggish Ness of the software when new ones are released. |

I heard this too, apparently if you save to cloud, wipe the device and re download, the device suddenly becomes as fast as it originally was
I haven’t tried so idk how true |

It is true, you probably won't see it on BBC, may catch it on various tech news outlets like GN, LTT, J2C, Hardware Unboxed etc.
Yes they slow them, but supposedly it's for your own good, now shut up and buy the latest model. |

In fact apple were fined way back in 2020 - apple admitted slowing iPhones down in 2017....."
