  • If you’ve updated your iPhone to a new version of iOS and felt like it became slower, you’re not alone. Apple’s been accused of slowing down older iPhone models to get more people to upgrade, but that’s not actually what’s going on here.

    I’m still on an iPhone 7. I had the battery replaced a year ago, and I make sure to leave at least 20GB of storage available.
    With these measures it continues to be pretty snappy, even on iOS 15.4.

      Yes 20GB is a must have to be free! I have SE2 and when I’m on 10-15GB storage left it just feels a lot slower compared to when it has around 20GB~ free. Even tho I’m on 14.8.1 it still happens a lot.

      The one good thing about these home button SE models, is that will likely help keep updates going for older home button devices like the 7 for many many more years. Though I did have a problem for like a year where my home button would hardly recognize my finger. It was real annoying having to punch in my code every time, though it's been working fine for 6 months now. Did you ever have that problem?

    Actually, some people recommend you change the battery on your iPhone ever 30-36 months. Also, be aware that if you upgrade to a new iOS version, your phone may be "reindexing" certain code for a couple of days as a gets used to the new version of IOS, causing slowdowns. If you phone is still lagging after a couple of days, it may be time to get a new battery installed.

      actually it doesn't slow down your iphone. new updates are always gonna include new features and new stuff so basically when you upgrade your phones is gonna use more of the CPU and ram because of the new features and new stuff that are running there for your phone gets a little slower every year. that's why apple releases new phones every year. so the updated processor could handle all the features in the software. if this is something you can't understand sorry your stupid. not just apple does this. every company that makes hardware and software is on the same boat. this is what exactly happens. it has nothing to do with what you read on the internet about codes my friend

      I don't know if anyone is willing to buy iPhone batteries and then open up their iPhone to swap them that often. I mean, some people don't even upgrade the batteries in their smoke/CO detectors every 6 months as suggested and those batteries are super cheap and power a device that will literally save their life. Also I have tried to replace a battery in an old iPhone, not my main phone and found out it is hard to do. I screwed up somehow because the Touch ID stopped working. This is why people go to the Genius bar or just give up and upgrade their phone anyway.

    Has Apple ever heard about software optimization? They can easily optimize their OS to demand less power from the battery if they want to. You don't have to defend every Apple decision. I own 4 Apple products but still don't get their actions sometimes, like removing charging brick from the package.

    Maybe instead of ‘your battery and hardware can’t meet the demands of newer operating systems’ it should be that newer operating systems don’t demand so much from your processor. I understand that technology progresses quickly, but it’s ridiculous that a processor made 3.5 years ago like the A12 Bionic would struggle to keep up with running iOS 15.

      Unfortunately, Apple upgrades their chips heavily each year and chooses to create features that focus on those chips. The A12 Bionic CAN easily run those new features, it just requires the battery to not be degraded in the 80-85% range. Apple also doesn't want to dis-include those features for older phones, even if it means the slowdown exists for devices with a degraded battery.

When we had her battery replaced it was pretty snappy like you said, although her battery levels have come down again but it’s still as snappy as my sister’s new Android phone and actually more reliable than that. I always knew that it was battery degradation and actually liked the fact that Apple slows down the phone if the battery has degraded badly, that way it won’t have a hard shutdown like other phones do when their battery is degraded. This was actually done in hopes that it would keep the phone running for longer with the same battery so Apple was actually trying to make the consumer retain the phone for longer not the other way around. Sadly they were accused for the opposite but in return we got more transparency for our battery health which is nice.

    Diving deeper into this can cause some questions because voltage of a battery does decline over time but the processor works within a set parameter. Software updates could also remove strings of unnecessary code making it more lightweight and responsive.
    AI is a big question for reduced performance but it's rarely seen as a hinder since those applications don't run continuously.
    I'm not a Software engineer but do understand the basic fundamentals.

    The iPhone 6S Plus is under iOS 15.4 painfully slow even with a brand new original battery. So the battery is NOT the reason! The hardware is to old…especially the lack of RAM is a problem in the long run…if you would get 12 GB RAM with you 13 Pro instead of only 6…it would last maybe 10 instead of 5 years…and the 2 GB of the 6S Plus…well…are good for nothing!

      @@c0d1ngclips25 That's only half true. They did loose a law case.

They do disclose this now, and when your battery-health is below 80% they even provide a switch to turn this protection off.

      Battery management is very complex, and becomes outright unpredictable when degradation of your battery starts to happen, especially in combination with the millions of totally different custom use(r) cases, as you are suggesting you would like to be possible.
      Apple simply can’t support all these scenarios. Literally: customer support would become extremely complex and expensive, just to cater the small amount of people that like to have a fine(r) level of control.
      On top of that; allowing for custom firmware and OS downgrades (in combination with ease of use) would effectively kill Apple's ability to keep its high level of security, privacy and long sustainability in check.
      Most people don’t think about this very often: but in essence; your phone holds your life. With that in mind I think one should look out for the ecosystem with the highest level of stability, privacy, security and ease of use. This ‘bundle’ can be very challenging and costly for tech companies to achieve & maintain. That’s what Apple excels at, and that’s what you pay for. (Although actually: if you play it smart, your TCO (Total Cost Of Ownership) within the Apple ecosystem can turn out to be significantly lower than the competition's.)
      But if you want a much higher level of control, while you know precisely what you’re doing, and you enjoy spending all the time it requires to stay safe and stable: maybe Apple is not your brand.
      For instance: A firmware flashed *FairPhone* could be a better option.
