Love to play computer games On June 7, it was reported that at the end of last year, many users reported that some old Apple models, including iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus, experienced performance degradation after upgrading iOS 11, which was also confirmed by Apple. The official said that in order to reduce energy consumption, protect aging batteries, limit the performance of some old iPhones, and reduce the main frequency of the processor. The final solution to this event is that the user needs to pay for a new battery. In the subsequent update of iOS 11.3, Apple added the "Battery Health" mode, and users can choose whether to actively reduce the processor frequency.

After the above events, the outside world has speculated that Apple has an internal "planned retirement" plan, which is to make the old iPhone models become stuck through system upgrades, so as to enable users to purchase new iPhones. Greg Josweak, Apple's marketing manager, countered this statement in a recent talk show. He said that it was the craziest idea in the world. If Apple gave users a bad mobile experience, it would be unreasonable for users to buy new iPhones. In addition, iOS 11 had a high praise rate of 95%, The reason why Apple did that was to help users of older models, because these phones are easy to restart

The executive also said that if Apple only wants consumers to buy new products, it only needs to provide iOS 12 services for 6% of users because they use new models. Greg also said that now after the iPhone 6 Plus is upgraded to iOS 12, the keyboard outgoing speed is increased by 50%, the camera startup speed is increased by 70%, and the software startup speed is twice as fast when the phone is under high load. The optimization of iOS 12 for old models seems to be Apple's weapon against "planned obsolescence". Are you satisfied with the executive's response?
