My wife has been using iPhones since a zillion years ago and she complains they start making GBS threads out after a year or so, when the updates start making them slow.

apple isn't as good as people say but this isn't really a thing, there's something else going on (throttling because of a dead battery, some system corruption that can be fixed by an erase and restore, etc)

Yeah but she says it happens to her every year, a little bit after the newest model has been released.

doing this is not in apple's interest and is a bizarre conspiracy theory

many people also manually quit their apps to save battery life but it actually makes your battery life worse, many people are bad at understanding technology

I don’t have any complaints about my SEs performance and it’s been years, it’ll be fine for me until it stops getting updates

likewise, my 7 is still fine

don't quit your apps unless one of them is misbehaving, if you quit the app your phone has to reload everything from "disk" instead of resuming from a suspended (not using any processor time) state
