the macbook was updated to skylake and is now avaiable in rose gold

still no thunderbolt 3 or even usb 3.1 rev 2
still has a 480p camera lol

and still only a single usb port

they also made 8GB RAM standard on the 13" mba, no option for anything else. 11" still has 4 standard, option for 8.

lol if apple doesn't ditch the air this year and release a redesigned macbook, ultra-lol if they eventually just ditch the air and keep the macbook with its current gimped design. their hardware lineup is getting increasingly hosed.

I'm sure your phone is fine, and suits your needs, but it's worse, and will continue to get worse, for completely avoidable reasons

no, but how is it worse?

i mean you say it's worse, so there's some quantifiable way to show that right? this isn't just your gut feeling or something you read in an article, right?

i have a 5c and an ipad mini 2 with current OSes on them that i use for my business and they're very needs suiting. i can think of a dozen or so people off the top of my heads that have iphones and have zero complaints about anything from updates.

no one is having that discussion because you keep making things up, refusing to support your claims, and calling people retards.

I have a thing for courageous dongles

all the performance issues I've seen on my 5 are due to increased load as apps get more bloated because the average iphone they're targeting is more powerful so make sure you never update your apps and put up an http proxy in front of your phone to capture a copy of the world exactly as it is right now so you can build your magical bullshit bubble where time doesn't advance and nothing ever changes

compare to other computers
does people's MacBook Pro run slower on 10.10 than 10.8 or even 10.6? because something like the 2011 mba or even 2009 mbp seem to be running faster than before and more responsive than ever on 10.10 especially with memory compression and whatnot


the main reason older iOS devices seems slow is because older arm chips are insanely slow, but we are almost getting to the point where speed will be decent for quite a while

even today something like the 5s with 64bit a7 is still decent come compare to the status of the 4s when 5s came out



also blame ads and the miloion JavaScript ad tracking you load when you click on a page with the latest cat pictures

sure, but you'd have to upgrade to get it, that's how they get you. then your phone will run worse in some unspecified way

on purpose. but not really, it just happens.

except when it doesn't like with microsoft.

lol @ the increasing desperation of your denial.

everyone on the planet knows that iphones get laggier as you update them. the keyboard gets slower, often missing inputs. simple things like loading the home screen and unlocking the phone are slower.

i don't give a poo poo if you think it's fine that this happens but straight up denying it is a heinously pathetic act of fandom

your phone is broken or you have apps that are loving things up. wipe it and see how it works.

i have a 5s running 9.3.1 and i do not have these issues. no yospos bullshit, i have a 32gb iphone 5s running ios 9.3.1 and it does not do that

I actually did mess around with my clean state 5c for a while before selling it yesterday. it was a laggy piece of junk that would drop inputs, just like it dos with all my apps and poo poo on it

i've had this 5s since launch in 2013. other than a few builds in the late ios8 days that somehow broke pushmail, it works the same as the day i got it. they fixed the pushmail bug, so it's all good.

if there's a significant difference between that and a phone running a 32bit proc, idk, but the phone is the same age
