TechCrunch - Apple has likely handily broken sales records with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and new app download numbers from app marketing firm Fiksu give us even more reason to believe that’s true. Fiksu’s October App Store Competitive Index found that app downloads through the month were up 42 percent over their September total, and up 39 percent year-over year, reaching a record high of 7.8 million across the top 200 free iOS apps.
Apple has officially commented on why its older devices may not perform as expected.
Sometimes Apple loses sight of what they think consumers want versus what we really want.
I was on the fence about the Iphone8 or the new Samsung but that new Galaxy is looking damn good right now... peace apple!
This is more Apple BS. When Apple launches a phone, they try to get as much sales as possible, even at the expense of their own customer base. A new iphone is released and suddenly your phone starts working like crap, obviously it makes the new iphone more appealing. They've been doing this since the original iphone. Funny how this isn't a problem for any other phone manufacturer.
I think it's more that continually evolving software updates bloat and eventually render the device sluggish. New code is written to take advantage of new hardware, at the expense of owners of the older models.
so then why even bother updating the older hardware if thats the case. i mean, its not like the older OS is not safe or unstable so why the need to update it. everything works just fine as is. ever heard if it aint broke.....
Several Chinese iPhone users have claimed that their handsets caught fire or exploded, according to a Shanghai consumer watchdog which called on tech giant Apple to address the complaints.
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners worldwide are being plagued by “Touch Disease” — a display issue that causes a flickering gray bar to appear at the top of their screen.
That is impressive, apple is breaking some kind of record every year, it seems.
