has agreed to clearly notify consumers if future iOS software updates slow down or change the performance of an iPhone.
Public pressure stemming from the revelation forced Apple to provide discounted $29 battery replacements that were cited by the company as one reason iPhone sales last holiday quarter were slower than expected. That program has ended.
Imagine a world where hardware or software upgrades are never required and only happen once in a blue moon...at your discretion...and are covered by the service you pay to use the device. Wouldn't that be beautiful?! It's on the way! -
It's pretty simple. If your phone hardware is more than two versions/years behind the current models, upgrades will slow it down. Like clockwork.
