Do older iPhones get slower over time?
My brother and I are not getting new iPhones this year (which I could care less about) and we currently have the iPhone 4s. My brother told me that overtime the 4s will operate slower and slower as the new upgrades emerge over the years so therefore we should be getting new phones. Is this true or is he just being a greedy brat?
Added (1). Do you think that if I just choose not to update the versions it could still be functional for at least 2 years? We just can't really afford to buy a brand new phone.
I would just wait for the IPhone 6/IPhone 6s. What your brother said is just plain wrong. But as Apple keeps on making newer Iphones, the older Iphones will not be able to get a new update like iOS 7; for iPhone 3Gs, IOS 7 will not work. But don't worry, your iPhone will get updates till 2 or 3 years later.
Haha, somewhat that is true. The problem isn't the phone itself, but more like the new upgrades that these modern times brings us. As more and more advanced systems get, the more older systems won't be able to support the new ones. Though i definitely think that your brother just wants the newest iphone because an iphone 4s is very good… Lol
Every iPhone speed remain the same forever, if you want it faster then you could to buy a new one. It is up to you if you want to spend about an extra $300+ on an new iPhone and it only a few second faster…
Sometimes it might be.
- When do US carriers (AT&T, Verizon, etc) lower the price of older model iPhones? Usually when a new iPhone comes out, the previous years model gets discounted by about $100. Does this price change usually happen when the new iPhone is announced, or is the price drop not effective until a few weeks later when the new model actually becomes available for sale?
- My iPhone 4S keeps turning off over and over and over again? I was on my phone just listening to OM&M on pandora and going on twitter when all of a sudden it shut off and now it's stuck on the turning off screen for like an hour or two. What do i do I'm FREAKING OUT.
- Is it fair to get an iphone the same time as your older sibling? - 1 So i'm 16 and my brothers 18(but we're just one school year apart) and my parents got my brother an iphone but they say that I can't get one because it wouldnt be fair for my brother, but I wrote my parents like 3 essays on why i should get one and talked about it and researched it and my brother pretty much just asked
- How to get older versions of apps on iPhones? I'm jailbroke but the app i'm looking for isn't in installous. So how do i get older versions of apps?
