Its usually around this time of year you hear people complain about their phones slowing down.
The answer to this, as usual, is complicated.
Lets take a look at the evidence.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
As such, system updates have to be programmed to work towards two goals.
The first is to support the new hardware and chip, which deliver the newest features.
The second is to continue to work with existing hardware that wont support the new features.
And this means coding the OS so its notrelianton the new features having to work.
Microsoft decided coding around new features was an insurmountable challenge in some instances.
Hardships with hardware
So your old smartphone wont support new features fair enough.
But why does it feel like the new OS update is making existing features slower?
To understand this, you gotta first understand some of the mechanics of chip design.
In doing so, they must work around the fact that older hardware doesnt have the same capacity.
Well, its because people dont like being told to stick with old features.
Applerecently allowedusers of its latest devices to keep the old system, but this is unusual.
There is usually apush for users to install new OS versions.
Its all business
The truth is machine manufacturers are in the business to make money.
And this means being able to sell new devices.
Compounding this are other factors such as connection connection issues, like when the 3G mobile connection was stopped.
Burden of proof
Theres something else to consider, too.
The system codes are closed source, so experts cant look into them.
Its hard to say for sure, although our personal opinion is this is highly unlikely.
Choose not to play
Ultimately, the issue comes down to how equipment manufacturers sell their products.
Its only once these security updates stop coming that you should upgrade.
