Stupid question. What is GM?? I see it mentioned all the time but i dont know what it is. Thanks.

Golden Master. It's a relic phrase from when physical "master" disks were made, from which all the copies for sale were made.

But that kind of reality isn’t as exciting as one where conspiracies can be imagined, adjusted, and attributed to it all.
Have or have not iPhones slowed down over time? Beyond 2 years I dont find them enjoyable at all.

If someone managed to categorically prove Apple were doing this, it would surely be an enormous scandal which had the potential to hurt them. LET'S PROVE IT. :p

Very disappointed in Apple with the performance on my 7+. I suggest anyone with this issue write Apple a bug report.

I am having the lag on iPad 10.5 and iPhone 7 Plus.
I have to say same here... iP7 Plus... there's a slight delay.. apart from that iOS11 seems to drain battery faster and be a bit sluggish, especially with the Mail app. But I'm assuming thats an early build issue...

Apple will get away with it.Its already been proven Apple tried to save costs with the iPhone 6 which resulted in Touch Disease but Apple asked customers to payt to get it repaired

And that doesn’t show that there’s something conspiratorial in play.

Just like observing the Sun go up and down everyday doesn’t prove that it actually revolves around the Earth (and would in fact be the complete opposite of reality).

Sure, if you have 200 apps and 99% of your space is filled. Plus every app if filled with a usless cache. But that can be said with any OS on any device/pc/server/mac/etc.

Doubt apple slows down on purpose. But I do think their software team is not as good as they could be. IOS is getting buggier every year.

I have 10 beers in the fridge, i think we can extend this thread to 34 pages on how Apple created flat earth. :p

They sure have. Unlike the stagnant PC/Mac world, where Intel barely shift the needle year over year, iPhone hardware roughly doubles in performance every year, due to Apple's complete and utter dominance in mobile ARM SOCs. This gives Apple headroom to give the OS capabilities unthinkable by those who got their hands on the original. The added complexity clearly has a cost and the oldest hardware will suffer most. None of this has anything to with a bug that even affects the latest phone though. Divert harder.

Unfortunately that misuse of "proven"/"proof" has been in play in many threads going back quite a few iOS and iPhone versions. Each time that the misuse is actually proven (as in actually proven) it just gets deflected, overlooked, etc. and the misuse continues.

Its not proven until i see a pie chart with pizza slices on it. Visual representation has a more scientific basis for analysis with pizza in it then paragraphs with fancy words.
Facts with pineapples just taste better and more acceptable in the scientific community.
:D

Apple have gimped all the phones they can actually build in volume so that everyone in the world will throw down their iPhones in disgust, stamp on them but also somehow clamour to buy a another iPhone. One that Apple, famously at this point, cannot build in volume. It’s just the sort of incredible business move those wily madmen at Apple are famous for. Tim, you did it again!!! :mad:

btw where are you getting your inside information? also. google the word 'paranoid'...

To anyone who denies this it made the iPhone 7 slower than the 6

https://streamable.com/6s01k

I think it's also a new animation in iOS11 that seems more sloppy and slower. I went ahead and enabled reduce motion on, and now the entire interaction seems faster than iOS10. It's not ideal because there are some parts of iOS that work much differently like the app switcher, but it's better for me than the sloppy animation.

The whole animation/input-blocking saga from iOS7 to now makes me think Apple engineers either do this on purpose or are incompetent. There isn't any other explanation.
