I would agree that supporting older hardware is a bit of an effort, but
there are many examples where companies put the effort into their
software to improve performance across the board, including on older
hardware. IMHO, this is especially true for Apple, but it's also been
the case with Windows, Android and other operating systems. There's a
misconception out there that newer operating systems will always run
slower on older hardware then the previous operating system did because
operating systems are always optimized for newer hardware, but when this
is true it's mostly because of a conscious decision by the operating
system developer and not because there's a limitation in the software
itself. Obviously there are some examples where this isn't true, such as
when a company decides to leave 32-bit behind, but for the most part,
it's because a company chooses not to spend resources on improving
performance and assuming people will get a performance boost just by
upgrading hardware. Bottom line is that people shouldn't let a company
off the hook because they think this is intrinsic in operating system or
software development. Like I said, it's a result of where a company
chooses to spend their resources.

phones than other operating systems do.
That’s just my two cents;

Hi Len,
I guess we have to agree to disagree on this. I don't think Apple needs to slow
down older devices running new iOS versions on purpose and if this were so it
would effect everybody not just a few people.
I think most people buy new iPhones happily enough anyways.

I had issues with my 6s plus, upgraded to the 7plus no issues here.
Apple makes it's older devices not so well when they upgrade the software. Many
get lucky and not have these issues. The game of the company is to sell
devices. People always forget that. Come on you can love apple all you want
don't change the facts.

List, I am running an Apple 5S with IOS 1.13the latest build.
My phone, other than burning through the battery a little bit more, is
performing extremely well.
This new IOS operating system is responding quickly and efficiently to
gestures. In particular, it is running well with Outlook and my "news".
Sorry to hear some are having problems.

That is completely not true, almost every new version of iOS has
actually improved the performance of older devices. I have absolutely
0 issues with speed and responsiveness on my 6S Plus and my wife has a
6S, she is sighted, plays games and all that and she has not noticed any
slow-down.
My question is what Joe and Paul did to prepare for the update. Did
they make sure to close all apps from the app switcher and as a
minimum reboot their phone (better even to do a Reset Ndetwork
Settings)? Have they tried a Reset Network Settings with all apps
closed since the update? Also, computers and phones are no different,
do slow down a bit over time and I find that after a couple of years a fresh
start can make all the difference.
I would recommend a Reset Network Settings to see if that helps, if
not then taking a couple of hours to completely restore your iPhone
and set it up as a new phone will probably solve the problem, like I
said, it's a bit of work because you have to put back any media you
may have on the phone, rearrange your apps (very easy now with the
multi-drag ability of iOS 11) and so on, but in the long run well worth it.
Let's also not forget that sometimes we add apps and not all apps are
created equal, some ccan cause problems and starting from scratch and
adding apps back in small groups starting with your most important
ones can help in narrowing down if there is such an app.
Regards,
Sieghard

What Do you,Joe Expect to Happen on Your iPhone6S? Apple's iOS
software is Configured to DeAppreciate the Performance of its
Previous iPhones to Sway its Consumers to UpGrade to
TheLatest & Greatest at Least that's What I'm Hearing
You,Joe can HOPE that Apple will Resolve & Fix this Issue in Future
iOS Updates of iOS11, but I wouldn't Hold MyBreath, How about you?

Hello,
After updating to iOS 11, my iPhone 6S has gotten sluggish. It takes
longer than usual to flick between items on the screen on certain
applications. If I’m touch typing and give it too many characters to
process, it tends to hang longer. Is anyone else noticing this, and if
so, what can you recommend? Thanks in advance.
Joe
