I really fail to understand what's all the fuss about Apple products..
Extremely limited os, lack of basic functionality like USB drive, USB OTG, or even sending files through Bluetooth, made me hate my iPhone so, so bad that in 2 days I was already having an android phone ready to take it's place.
The difference was like going out of stone age and having interstellar travel!
I did jailbreak the iPhone to get the most of it, but it became so damn unstable, slow and full of glitches it was useless. Good thing it was a gift and I didn't pay for it lol. On the other hand, if you root android, your experience turns from nice to wow to holy molly this is awesome!
I came to the conclusion that crapple is an insult to my IQ and I'm never gonna get one ever again. Basically it's a phone for grandmas and people with zero technical skills.
Now my iPhone has been gathering dust in a drawer for 2 years. I'm thinking about making a video of it getting the torture it deserves :))

Apple is deliberately slowing down their phones, since ever. To force users buy new devices. Or you really bite the battery story? Probably yeah, cause you oh love them. Well, reality can be cruel sometimes, their is no battery problem, but only a greed one. And yes, people should revolt, sue and blame them for fraud and greed. I do not care how much you like them, ignorance in this cases is not bliss, is enslaving.

He actually discovered the mass ignorance and learned how to take advantage of it. I can safely say he also invented this "battery protection future" is just that only now was discovered;). Apple is not doing this since yesterday, that is for sure;).

Basically, it is absolutely and obviously needless to say that it is definitely unfair. The reality is simply this: "the company should treat the issue as a defect and not mask it like a feature". So absolutely shame on Apple.

Not a very original formula.
I think this person just trolls - and gsm should consider dealing with that.

This is the hot topic now a days.
(Below Opinion is based on my own personal experience while using an Apple and An android Phone.)
First of all:
For all those who are saying that android phones (Samsung, Lg, google and others) are laggy or there are booting issues. Please don't compare a cheap/ low end android phone with a high end Apple phone (As Apple only manufacture high end phones).
The compassion should be like with like means u have to compare a high end android phone with Apple high end phone as apple only manufactures high end phone each year.
Second Thing (My personal experience):
Currently I am using two phones and that are Apple iPhone 6s Plus which was released in September, 2015 (Around 2 yrs old) and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which was released in September, 2013 (Around 4 yrs old). I updated both phones whenever i get any update from their respective companies.
Currently My iPhone 6s Plus is working so slow. For me it is so slow that it is really annoying me. First I didn't know that Apple purposely slowing down old iPhones. I was thinking that there was something wrong only with my phone so i deleted all pictures, documents and games but still my phone is slow as hell then letter i came to know that Apple purposely slowing down old iPhones. Honestly i felt pain and so bad cuz for me Apple was another name of premium phones is terms of performance.
On the other hand im Using Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from 4 years and it is still running fast as it was performing 4 years ago. I still play heavy games on it and never find any issue. there is no lag or any issue. Note 3 was my first samsung phone and im really amazed by its performance.
Im also surprised that why we don't mention all Android high end phones when we praise only Iphones. High end android phones are equally good as Iphones.
But after such a bad move made by Apple cuz of which i am also suffering with my iPhone 6s Plus. i am really disappointed. And if we talk about high end phones so i can say that now android phones are on better side as android phones have capabilities to work good and up to the mark even after 4 years usage and their companies don't let down ur highly paid phones like apply did.
I was about to buy Iphone X in February but now im canceling the paln and wait to see what will be Apple next step. I cant spend my hard earned money on Iphone X if they will treat it the same way they did all their previous phones.
Many ppl will agree or disagree with me but this opinion is based on my own personal experience.
Thanks,

Never broke down anywhere. Always performance driven and cost of ownership was not bad either.
If Apple is believed to be in that level then they are far better company IMO.

AnonD-322156, 30 Dec 2017I don't know why people still buy this crap(I phones)
Just... moreAll because money and style, I also can not imagine when my sister prefer iPhone 5 than Android, iPhone 5 with a small screen and less
2.000 mAh battery, all also depending on the choice of each, what smartphone choice, I think that Apple or Android is the best today and became the ruler of the market after Symbian and Blackberry.

All nothing is perfect, what is it iPhone or Android, all have limitations and bugs, lawsuits is reasonable for some brand of technology products must have experienced that lawsuits, hope it not also happen in technology future.

Fraud company.It only someone could decode those software updates which intentionally slow done iPhones as well.I mean just before the update the iPhone worked great and after the update it is 20% slower.No wonder they make their software closed sourced.

I don't know why people still buy this crap(I phones)
Just look at Oreo for android ,it has speed and features at right place but ios 11 is a disaster for iPhone ,battery issues ,performance issues... YouTube videos already proved it (pixel 2 vs iPhone 8). I had iPhone 6 ,now using galaxy s7 and lg g4 both are superb,running Oreo with custom ROM .
