ios 9.1 is actually great and still is extremely usable on my mother's 4 year old ipad 2

its amazing how usable older iDevices remain years after they come out unlike android garbage

actually it's not old and what you seem to be missing is that say unlike mechanical hardware the phone is exactly as fast as it was the day it came out

the battery is worse but that's it

is it so unreasonable to expect it to perform as fast as it did when Steve Jobs himself revealed it to the world?

why are you laughing? it's your precious company that purposefully halved the storage on the phone.. it never came out with 8gb until it was the older model..

8gb is fine. I have like 10 apps and every day iOS tells me it's full. tbf iOS does a stellar job of working fine while full though, idk it never really complains. just can't take new pictures

i agree 8 gb models were a dick move by apple, even they eventually realized it which is why they dont do that anymore

but lol that you bought one

this whole thread is rule 36 as gently caress

:qq: why is my 4 year old device so slow in an area of electronic device that's advancing in almost exponential scale?? :qq:


seriously we are wasting time arguing with someone who doesn't see value the same way in an device that's going to be used more than any other piece of electronics they own

and they just want to save a few bucks during the purchase even though there's been so much advancement already for just a tad bit more in price especially when the cost is being spread out over few years

bring rule 36 back, gas, ban etc.
