i am running ios 10.3.3 on a iphone 6 and have not noticed a slowdown of anything on it still works great. but i will not update to ios 11 that i bet would slow it down as it is designed to run on a faster processor and features of a new phone.
Your exactly right here. I think it was included in the ios 11 update. It's interesting that Samsung makes 1/3 of all the parts in an Iphone, including screen and battery. Performance takes a hit when batteries get old without any "help". In the US ,Android accounted for 67% of phone activation's from April-June 2017, up from 63% in the same quarter last year. IOS activation's dropped from 32% to 31% in that same period. When you look at what their doing, combined with
a stratospheric price for an Top line Iphone 10, it looks like their trying to goose the market at one end with the slowing, while they rake it in the other end with wealthy customers.
