Apple outed for intentionally slowing phones
A tech researcher discovered code that intentionally slows older Iphones. Apple claims it's needed for power consumption for older lithium ion batteries. It affects all Iphones up to the Iphone 7. Mea...

I've been an avid Apple user for year. I have a 6 year old MacBook Pro. There are some false things being said as absolutes.
My Mac has aftermarket Ram. I upgraded to 8 GB before I walked out of the store when I bought it. This past year I upgraded the HD to a 1TB drive... Aftermarket drive at that.
I can order nearly any part I need for this computer off of the internet.
I upgraded my OS X to High Sierra a few days ago. I can say that my computer actually runs better with High Sierra.
I have an iPhone 6S Plus and will admit when I upgraded to iOS 11 on the day of release it did cause my battery life to degrade rapidly. I am now running iOS 11.2 and the phone is running great now.
For me, the features that iOS 11 bring is worth having to grab a charger a little quicker. It's a fantastic OS.
I do have an iPad Air 2 as well. I am thinking about selling it. It runs iOS 11 but it did have a few bugs with the split screen multi-tasking. That has been ironed out with the 11.2 update though. I mostly use it for my sermons and use it while preaching. Any tablet could do this.
I am moving away from Apple in some ways. I bought a 17 inch Acer Laptop which my wife promptly claimed. I plan on building a nice desktop computer soon and it will be a Windows 10 machine.
I also bought a used LG G5 Android Phone on a whim recently and I really like it. Once I booted it up and activated it I was able to do a software update.
Thanks!
