*Someone finally sues Apple for purposefully making older iPhones run
slower with latest iOS upgrades*
It’s one of the dirtiest secret in consumer electronics, but we all know
it’s true: As Apple updates iOS, it purposefully designs the system to
run poorly on older iPhones and other iOS devices so that users will be
forced to buy new devices. (By contrast, every version of Windows since
2006’s Windows Vista runs faster and uses fewer resources on the same
hardware.) And now, someone is finally suing them for this behavior.
Chaim Lerman has fileda class action lawsuit against Apple
<http://www.scribd.com/doc/294247024/IOS-9-Slows-iPhone-4S-Complaint>in
New York, alleging that the firm engages in “deceptive trade practices
and false advertising” by “significantly slowing down” customers’
iPhones when they upgrade to the latest iOS version. It’s about time
someone called them on their BS.
