The thing is, a mobile OS/device is so handicapped and limited that it just doesn't seem worth it to me.

I went to the Apple store yesterday to replace the battery. The tech looked at my phone and suggested I wait another 5-6 months before changing the battery. I thought this was really cool of him. I am not having issues with battery life so to say. So, I am glad that Apple techs can run diagnostics and see how good your phones battery is doing. I do hope to get another year or two out of this iPhone. (:

@@Sam-Cain You're right! That's why their player-base growth has, as everyone knows, come to a complete halt. And obviously their marketing team just hasn't seen the non-existent data you base that on. 🙄🔫
Summary: -Do not update your OS -Do not update apps -Have a lot of empty storage and delete unnecessary shit -Replace your battery down the line Got it.
Although I do agree with some of the points raised in this video, i entirely disagree with the reason for SSD performance degradation: Raw NAND storage is cheap and of extremely low quality. for that reason, error correction algorithms are being used to provide the required data retention and performance quality. Over time, NAND degrade even further, which increase the load on the error correction algorithms increasing access time.
Someone sent Me 459 texts in 24 hrs. Then another sent 278 same time. Then They complain when I talk text & it is long. Yet I don't sit there and type hi. Then how are you. Then what are you doing. LOL. But I will get these all day long and believe me when I want to say something I say it into the microphone just like I'm doing now.
You forgot to mention RAM. OS updates eat more ram (look at the difference between ios 5-6 and ios 9 for instance, a 256MB ipad 1 on ios 5 is faster than a 512MB ipad 2 on ios 9... Also the internet has become more "RAM intensive" over the years, pages and services from 6 years ago took much less ram then now (people attribute this to browsers like Chrome, but that's only part of the truth...)
The worst problem for older phones is lack of internal space, but if you have one of those Chinese phones with big batteries and internal space, but low everything else, those things can last a long time if you don't break them. All my phones I changed because lack of internal space was nagging me, that's why I have now a S9+ with 128Gb. Finally enough quantity.

As someone watching this on a mid-2014 entry-level phone, I haven't had many problems. Most essential apps on the play store still work, chrome works fine for browsing, RUclips plays without problems, and I don't need to worry about battery life getting worse because it's replaceable. The only major problems are the charging port getting loose (although I have a wireless pad somewhere) and 4.4.2 not letting me use all my storage.

What we should really be asking is why the price of these phones are so unrealistically high when we know there is absolutely NO justification for it! Factor in the life expectancy of a phone is about 3 years and it gets even more absurd!
Because of the "Wow" factor and because of the whole marketing propaganda that's going on for ages. It applies to everything, when they release a newer product their first priority is to convince you it's worth it and a million times better than what you already have. It's not that people don't realize they don't need it but advertising it over and over and over implants the idea in your head that you want it, people talking about it a lot makes you think that certain thing is super interesting and exciting and you must have it hence they will increase the price because they know people will even apply for bank loans to buy certain stuff that they don't need in reality. If you think about it, that's how the world worked since the beginning of times.
Pleasantly surprised to see XDA Developers getting a plug. It's managed to extend the useful lifespan of many of me and my friend's devices over the years.

This can’t be everything I’ve reseted my (old) phone (Samsung galaxy A3 2016) 10 times in a row and erased everything (didn’t load the backup and even waited a few days after reinstalling), I have no SIM card and no third party app installed and the phone is slow and laggy as hell anyway
Ferdinand S What version of Android is it running? If it’s running a relatively new version of Android it is probably slow because it’s a mid-tier phone with a pretty slow SoC

Hello Linus, I found a cool Windows feature you could talk about: Hibernation. It's interesting how Windows uses volatile memory (RAM) and normal memory to find a sort of middle point between the sleep mode and a complete system shutdown. It actually transfers the content of the RAM to the system memory and keeps it temporarily to use 0 energy while booting your computer faster at a restart. Will you talk about this cool feature?
Here’s the real reason why: Because android and apples make updates to make smartphones slower and they will buy a new brand phone to get business and more money
@@mrmaniac3 That still won't stop the car from aging, the best advice would just be to buy new parts every couple years. By that point however you might as well buy a new car.
you know I've been thinking about watercooling and I had an idea. What if you mixed an aio with a blower heatsink so instead of it justcooling the water in the radiator it also cooled the cpu using a blower tooso you have constant cooling on both ends of the AIO
@Ray actually it does I've had to do it with my phone at least once to clear any unnecessary data and free up internal storage again. However doing this means data that is not on an SD MEMORY CARD gets lost altogether.
Apparently /e/ is really good too. It is designed with privacy in mind so it has no Google services so that might be a deal breaker to some. Also it is made by the creator of Mandrake Linux so it is in good hands.
To be fair, after the battery/throttling debacle, Apple did for once try to focus on performance of older devices with iOS 12; indeed the page onscreen at 1:25 lists that as the top headline feature, which somewhat counters the voiceover around that point... not suggesting they’ve totally reformed and that the gist of the video is in any way wrong.
Lets not forget that they put cheap QLC SSDs in them with not enoiugh over-provisioning for worn out memory cells. Those constant excessive app updates & running in the background wear down QLC SSDs fast, so you're regularly loosing more usable memory. Without plenty of useful functioning memory left on the SSD, it slows down. They don't really want your devices to last more than 2 years, but do want to build them good enough to hold up until the warranty runs out.
At first I was really struggling watching his videos without subtitles, but after watching him for a half of a year I feel like I don't need subtitles anymore..
I imagine most people's phones slow down because they have a sh** ton of random apps they never touch that just run. I keep my phone as minimal as I can to function the way I need (with literally 4 small games).

It's not that people don't realize they don't need it but advertising it over and over and over implants the idea in your head that you want it, people talking about it a lot makes you think that certain thing is super interesting and exciting and you must have it hence they will increase the price because they know people will even apply for bank loans to buy certain stuff that they don't need in reality. If you think about it, that's how the world worked since the beginning of times.
Pleasantly surprised to see XDA Developers getting a plug. It's managed to extend the useful lifespan of many of me and my friend's devices over the years.
This really makes sense. My phone has the same specs as my brothers but it's older.
2:42 I was waiting for the boom.
Getting a new battery for my iPhone SE was the best idea ever. Long love the SE!
4:29 - Slowing older iOS down on purpose to lure customers into buying newer ones. Reminds me of an old Conspiracy Keanu meme.
5:04 Why thank you for the thorough explanation of what Fortnite is. I totally didn't know about it after the entirety of youtube has been spammed by clickbaiters and obnoxious content creators for that game.
And this is why your phone gets slow. Fornite appears

I got OnePlus 3T since release, never did a factory reset on it, and it's still fast even with a lot of apps and porn filling up the memory...
Same here. I have a Hydro Vibe and it still is mostly fine.
OnePlus 3 user here, I installed a custom Pie ROM (didn't like the direction Oxygen is was heading) and its performance is better than it was when I first got it.
i still have my 3t and its been 2 years. Currently on pixel experience and its still fast af
I assume that the memory wasn't the only thing ' *F I L L E D U P* '.
My OnePlus One also runs perfectly fine. I mean sure, it takes maybe half a second to open some apps, but that's not exactly "slow"...
Luke laughing on the end made my day 5:00
make a video about EFI partitions and boot entries
bro advertising fortnite, man does time fly
Mr. Linus & Team, please make a video about most promising/perspective rivals of youtube. Thank you, Merry Christmas and upcoming 2020-ies to all of ya \o/
This can’t be everything I’ve reseted my (old) phone (Samsung galaxy A3 2016) 10 times in a row and erased everything (didn’t load the backup and even waited a few days after reinstalling), I have no SIM card and no third party app installed and the phone is slow and laggy as hell anyway
And I don’t think the battery is that bad either
Ferdinand S What version of Android is it running? If it’s running a relatively new version of Android it is probably slow because it’s a mid-tier phone with a pretty slow SoC
It’s on 7
But yeah the soc really isn’t that great but it once felt like 4 times faster
Same, reset my Lenovo yoga 2 and it is still very slow! Planned obsolescence is everywhere in the industry.
omg... please... Linus... I love you dude... but... NO MORE FORTNITE ADS! IT IS SO CRINGEY!
He can't set, what ads you see
@@resonance-cascade yes he can
@@resonance-cascade yes he can when the ad is part of the video
Why is it cringy?

Have an Oneplus 6t (2018), oneplus 3 (2016) and oneplus 2 (2014) and still use the 2 and 3 every day for pokemon go and stuff. That's how good they are even after all those years. Can't say that about crapple or shitsung
Are these Tiny Bubbles? Are they Bubbles in my beer? Is Bubbles a clown? I have all these questions and references for Bubbles but I know why my phone gets slower. LUL!
Hi linus i've watched you videos for ages and i've been subbed since you started i dont have a pc i really wanted one i know you probably wont see this but keep up the good work
Hi linus i've watched ur videos for so long and i've subbed to you from the start i dont have a pc yet i really wanted one i know you wont see this but keep up the good work

Not even install that bullshit
@@shigerumiyamoto_Nintendo it's a joke
am i the only one that never really had this problem but still upgrade my phone 2-3 years later anyways lol..maybe cos i always buy a Galaxy S :P
only problem i tend to have with older phone is the battery life going down the pan..
I agree! The most overlooked phone power draining activities are app updates and background apps.
They promice gigabite but dont subtract the space taken by uninstallable Apps
Hello Linus, I found a cool Windows feature you could talk about: Hibernation. It's interesting how Windows uses volatile memory (RAM) and normal memory to find a sort of middle point between the sleep mode and a complete system shutdown. It actually transfers the content of the RAM to the system memory and keeps it temporarily to use 0 energy while booting your computer faster at a restart. Will you talk about this cool feature?
Half of My phone storage is covered with "Other" :(
5:10 NO!
I’ve had my iPad for 3.5 years and it’s exactly the same
Can you please make a quick video explaining phone cache and when you should/shouldn't clear app cache?
Here’s the real reason why:
Because android and apples make updates to make smartphones slower and they will buy a new brand phone to get business and more money
Just turn off auto updates :)
Jokes on you, I didn't even got an add.
Cars actually also lose horses over time :o
Change your oil, use the right gas, and just basically maintain your car
@@mrmaniac3 That still won't stop the car from aging, the best advice would just be to buy new parts every couple years. By that point however you might as well buy a new car.
My Galaxy S II still works and it's really slow, I use it as a donkey phone.
you know I've been thinking about watercooling and I had an idea. What if you mixed an aio with a blower heatsink so instead of it justcooling the water in the radiator it also cooled the cpu using a blower tooso you have constant cooling on both ends of the AIO
Nice idea.
Manufacturers don't want their smartphones to last longer. They want the customers to keep on upgrading. But they don't admit it.
I need to move my data onto my PC, I think I'm planning on doing a factory reset
Get ftp
@@cupcakecupcake5360 what is ftp?
Host file website
no just setup a windows share and drop your files there daily
@Ray actually it does I've had to do it with my phone at least once to clear any unnecessary data and free up internal storage again. However doing this means data that is not on an SD MEMORY CARD gets lost altogether.
Lineage OS has my 5 year old Nexus 6 still running fast. Im Glad you showed that. Android has options to keep them fast
Apparently /e/ is really good too. It is designed with privacy in mind so it has no Google services so that might be a deal breaker to some. Also it is made by the creator of Mandrake Linux so it is in good hands.
Can your cellular services be transferred to the new OS?
@@MarcABrown-tt1fp Yes

To be fair, after the battery/throttling debacle, Apple did for once try to focus on performance of older devices with iOS 12; indeed the page onscreen at 1:25 lists that as the top headline feature, which somewhat counters the voiceover around that point... not suggesting they’ve totally reformed and that the gist of the video is in any way wrong.
Lets not forget that they put cheap QLC SSDs in them with not enoiugh over-provisioning for worn out memory cells. Those constant excessive app updates & running in the background wear down QLC SSDs fast, so you're regularly loosing more usable memory. Without plenty of useful functioning memory left on the SSD, it slows down. They don't really want your devices to last more than 2 years, but do want to build them good enough to hold up until the warranty runs out.
Shame On Developer
I Always Update My Apps Manually

My phone will never slow
What phone are you using

oh it's just your wallet which s telling you that, bro
because its already slow

It's amazing how much battery science goes into these phones
Here I am with an iphone 6 yelling, "are you not throttling me, yet??" In my best Gladiator meme
No! I refuse to believe it!
*sticks fingers in ears*
Don't believe it. My >4 year old phone (of which I'm using to write this comment) still works fine, and it isn't even a well-known brand.
RRW Yup, my 2 year old iphone 7 plus is still fast.
I imagine most people's phones slow down because they have a sh** ton of random apps they never touch that just run.
I keep my phone as minimal as I can to function the way I need (with literally 4 small games).
Soulja Phone Would Never
Funny how I was wondering why my ASUS zenfone2 has gotten so slow and you showed an ASUS Zenfone 2 in 00:28 :p
