After the constant and endless nagging for the update on the iphone, I finally updated to the new IOs, and well...things are horrible, a very slow phone, crashes, freezes and not even after the 2 other extra updates, nothing got better..
its an Iphone 6, and it was superb at the time of purchase, but now what am I supposed to do... buy the newest Iphone, and rinse and repeat every 2 years?My friend in NY told me he never updates for this reason, so when he had a problem with the iphone's battery, at the Apple Store, they said they would not check the battery or even do a replacement if he didnt do the update first.
I am trying to look for alternatives for mobile phones, but have no idea where to start...but I am almost sure my next phone wont be an iphone.
Any suggestions?
- everyone seems to be loving the pixelGnash
- Nobody seems to be kicking off about the Pixel's missing headphone jackIanbolton
- < and are you suggesting technology needs to slow down because you don't see the point in updates?Ianbolton
- the lack of jack was inevitable - everyone who moaned also knew it was progress - still a pain in the ass for now though.fadein11
- You could have just turned off the updated notices and stuck with iOS 10.monospaced
- You can always roll back to 10 - Apple keep the authentication servers open for a while after the release of each new version. Be quick though.face_melter
- Be aware, rolling back will wipe your phone - so save everything you want saved first.face_melter
- Apple won't let you roll back, I just read. Fucking sucks, right?monospaced
- I believe they stopped authenticating iOS 10 already, those bitches.monospaced
- I got a Pixel last year after being iphone from day one. I honestly haven't looked back. Will prob get the pixel 3 next year.TOMMYxGUNN
- @lanbolton not sure where you are getting these ideas from me... but I just dont want updates to make my phone unusable, am I asking much?Fabricio
- @monospaced Yeah, apple wont let me roll back. I bought the phone, but I dont feel like I own it. They fucked up my phone, and there is nothing I can do about iFabricio
- I will have a look about the Google PixelFabricio
- LG G6 or Pixel 2set
- They closed the servers already? Fuck me.face_melter
- I'm an Apple guy when it comes to computers, but I have an Android phone and I fucking love it. Email and calendar sync with Google, that's all I need. Great OSelahon
- I'm running a 2 year old phone on Tracfone, a Moto X Pure. I pay about $100 every 4/5 months for airtime and data, and hook into wireless networks at home/work.elahon
- @fabricio I hate the idea that eventually my phone will be unusable because Apple stop supporting the OS. It's shit, but technology is always moving aheadIanbolton
- I'd really like someone to release on OS that I could chuck on my old iPhone which turns it back to the phone it used to be. Would Instagram work? Probs not!Ianbolton
- ^ Apple are a lot better than most at supporting old devices. General OS support for Android phones is about 2 years, even less.face_melter
- ^ truGnash
- by supporting do you mean fucking up? It's been proven over and over that any update on a device over 2 years old is going to slow it down, crash it, fuck it...set
- I think personally I'd rather not have updates to an old android device and have it continue to work...set
- But it's not proven. Why have my old devices remained unaffected after updates. Why my families and friends also not affected?monospaced
- It might be the case that they target certain people over others for forced crashes and slow down s. But on what basis do they decide?monospaced
- Apple's notorious for lack of support of old devices, it's by far the worse between MS and Google. My Nexus 1 still works really well, better than my 4s.zarkonite
- I'm including the last 20 years of hardware experience here btw. They've been horrible at supporting old hardware for a long long time.zarkonite
- How long should they support old hardware? Who is doing it better?monospaced
- my 4s is still kicking and OS is upgraded to the max. I got many years of use out of all my macs. I wouldn't say they were notorious for not supporting stuffGnash
- Microsoft... you can pretty much take any old piece of software and run it on their brand new OS. I have DOS games running on W10.zarkonite
- They should use their considerable resources and avoid creating new things that break the old ones. That's why they'll never make it in enterprise, they can'tzarkonite
- be relied upon. No hospital is going to be dumb enough to use iPads for their doctors, they know it's a bad long term bet.zarkonite
- Supporting old software isn't the same as supporting old hardware. Microsoft doesn't even have old machines to support ... they \make only a new tabletmonospaced
