More or less every year there is a conspiracy, isn't it Apple deliberately slows down iOS on older devices to maintain sales. Is that really the case or is it just the fact that new versions iOS they are simply optimized for newer and more powerful hardware, we can only speculate about that for now. However, some don't want to speculate and instead want to act and try to make a difference. The result is a class action lawsuit filed by disgruntled users on Apple for how slowly it runs iOS 9 on old devices, especially then on iPhone 4s, which is the oldest supported device on the market today and is an achievement that sa Apple he did not cough up this device. But as you can see, sometimes it really does "For a Beggar's Goodness".

They blamed the users Apple from unfair business practices and also from deceptive advertising, which sa Apple supposedly committed by the team saying that iOS 9 is compatible with iPhone 4s, even if it's not exactly the fastest here. Well, actually, it's a little slower than here iOS 8 and significantly slower than iOS 7. In addition, users are dissatisfied with the fact that they cannot downgrade to a lower version of the system and once they switch to iOS 9, there is no turning back. The result is an almost unusable device on which the keyboard crashes, the camera sometimes does not even turn on and Safari sometimes it falls and in the summer months the phone gets really hot even with basic tasks (note experience). The device behaves this way especially when there is a lot of content on it, be it apps, music, photos or e-mails. Similar symptoms are also described by more than 100 damaged customers who from AppThey are seeking a total of $5 million in damages. In addition, they mention application crashes from App Storu and impaired touch screen responses.

Plaintiffs then raise two additional issues. Apple according to them he knew that iOS 9 on older devices (especially on iPhone 4s) too much nestoops, but he still released an update and falsely stated that this one iOS improves battery life and increases device performance. Which is true because Apple did not warn in any way that this only applies to newer devices and not to mobile phones from 2011. To make matters worse, the plaintiffs also accused Apple from keeping the business thanks App Store. There is a much larger widthancand, that people who enter the ecosystem iOS a App Store, they will continue to use iPhone and they won't switch to Android, and if they do, they won't want to pay for the same apps twice.

However, the owners also noticed a significant slowdown iPhone 6 who complained that after switching to iOS 9.0 their phone was slower, but that improved after the update to iOS 9.1.
