Do apple products slow down right before new models are released?

Anyone else notice this? I feel like my iPhone 4 is starting work really slow and have all sorts of bugs "coincidentally" a month or two before the iPhone 5 is gonna drop. My iPhone 3G did exactly the same thing immediately before the iPhone 4 dropped… And I have many friends who would agree.

Anyone know anything about this? Is a conspiracy? Or am I just buggin?

If your phone was "acting up" before the release of a new model wouldn't it make it less likely that you would continue with that brand? I think your tinfoil hat needs adjusting.

  • Will the IPhone that's gonna be released in 2019 slow down after a few years like all the other Apple products? Ever since the news that Apple has purposefully made it so their devices slowly starts working worse as time goes by I haven't bought another Apple product but I really need a new phone, I wish I could buy another phone like Samsung but I have information on my current phone for school that can't be transferred. So I have been waiting for an Apple phone that won't slow down over time, so I don't have to constantly buy new phones and waste thousands.
  • Will the iphone 5 price go down when the iphone 6 is released? I'm not talking about brand new from the apple store, but a second hand iphone 5 like from ebay or second hand phone shops etc.
  • Where could I find new previous-generation Apple products for sale? I'm currently in the market for a new computer. I love Apple products (My last main computer was a MacBook, and I use an iPhone), but I actually liked their last generation iMac computer better than the one that was just announced. Is there a company that sells brand-new previous-generation Apple products? Each time Apple announces a new product, I've got to think that there are shelves of unsold previous-generation products still to be bought.
  • When do new iPhone models ship? I'm looking to buy a new iPhone as my 6+ has broke. I really don't want to wait that long for a new one but know the keynote is expected to be around 12th of september. If i do wait until then and pre-order, how long has it taken in past years for the phones to actually arive to the customers (I heard the X took until november but usually they ship before october?)
