Mnyb: Indeed the iPhone 4 is "like tar" compared to the iPhone 6 with even simple web browsing!
I wonder if there's a conspiracy :confused: to slow down the old phones so everyone upgrades! I certainly don't recall web browsing being so slow with my wife's old iPhone until the past year... I wondered if downgrading iOS to a lower version would help. ----- Now as for audio. Indeed, I believe we have reached a point where inexpensive components is certainly plenty good for a walking-around mobile device. Here in October 2014 there's no way to avoid talking about the Pono scheduled to be trickling out soon when mentioning portable devices. I'd be very curious how the Pono performs objectively with all the hype surrounding it for the hardware "Toblerone". Young/Ayre has claimed that the bulky shape was needed for sonic quality with larger components inside... I see the Pono store is supposed to be updated today so it'll be interesting also to see what it has on offer. Already with the announcement of the software releases that will go with the signatured players, it looks like there's disappointment on that front with a number of predictable 16/44 bundled albums. (So far nothing tells me there's anything special here other than yet another store selling stuff we can already find on HDTracks, etc.) Archimago's Musings: (archimago.blogspot.com) A 'more objective' audiophile blog. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102270 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
