no name1, 29 Dec 2017buy iphone to use first... no user will notice the slow dow... moreYou wish kid.. Your dream of owning an iphone due to the sheep influence.. Grown ups real users are all clamoring the effect of the slowdowns.. Benchmark only confirms the slowdown is as much as half the speed of the chipset.. Lawsuits are barraging at Apple doors right now.. You better open up and see the world kid.. That way you'll see that the world is much larger than Apple and there are a lot of better brands than Apple

no name1, 29 Dec 2017buy iphone to use first... no user will notice the slow dow... moreNope, have an iphone as working device, i notice the slow down, particularly when navigating through app(simply closing, switching, launching apps), even my colleagues briefly said that his iphone feel a bit slower than it used to be(he blamed it that his iphone is simply loaded with stuff *facepalm*) all in all, like the long support(else it won't be my working phone), the air drop, and i have a bit hate on the new ios11(questional toggle behavior in action centre, and the notification shade, plss fixed it)

Someone is still yet to give a reason as to why Apple's batteries degrade MUCH quicker than the rest of the competition's. Hmmmmm....

AnonD-507364, 29 Dec 2017I can confirm Sony phones doing the same as iPhone.
It's j... moreBut my Z5Compact is still as fast as the first day, even though it depends on the most controversial SoC, the SD810. 😀😀
You're the first guy I have seen who is complaining about the performance of Xperia. People usually complain about two things, 1. Camera which is partly true. 2. Design which is personal taste.
Anyway, it's good to hear that you won't buy Xperia anymore 😉😉

I wonder how many people bought new iPhone models and thought what a great upgrade because of better performance without realising they were being tricked?

So I'd say the photo is Christmas themed, and doesn't have anything in particular to do with this article (other than the fact it's a HTC phone in the picture).

sony z1 is as fast as it was first day if not faster on android 5.1.1
benchmarks even get higher with newer android versions. battery is average , looks like its 60~70% of what it used to be. the device is still fast. i used cpu monitering apps and ita proven, cpu all 4 cores kicks in full throttle at 2.2ghz. no slow downs, unlike apple.
apple does it because they know that their user base are idiots and stupid. so they were like these fools will buy anything we sell, but we feel like we need to sell them more, lets slash down 1 year old flagships cpu yo half performance and slow it down so we can sell more of the new model

Spoil alert: Samsung does not. My old Tab 2 10.1 is as laggy as it was in day 1, yet the Battery life is awful. 5 years of intense Internet usage did a number on the Battery life but the perfs are constant. Same goes for my S3: Still somewhat capable on KitKat, but the Battery is just horrible.
