What’s “forced obsolescence “. I don’t buy a new computer because windows slows to a crawl. I reinstall as is common to do so.
They are forcing users to upgrade their phones earlier than usual by intentionally crippling their own phones. Their batteries deteriorate after a year and correspondingly the throttling used to increase and the phone used to slow down. There was no way out other than to buy a new phone as no one knew it was cleverly tied to battery health.
So what the takeaway from your post is that Microsoft engages in forced obsolescence because windows slows down also.
No they don’t because the main reason Windows slows down is the user itself. Windows inherently never slows down unlike iOS which doesn't need user intervention to slow down
Basic human nature. No one likes a slow device. If a device slows down the logical course of action is always a newer device. The exception is people who perhaps can’t afford one or don’t feel it to be worth it and bear the slowdown.
One of my desktops is using an FX 8350 from 2012 and the hard disk is from 2010. Still runs as fast as Day 1 on Windows 10.
That the perception to the user slowing down is relevant, and hence windows slows down.
Not basic human nature. Slow is relative. That is why intel has a lineup of cpus and not one size fits all.
A person claiming an exception doesn’t make it any less true. Pc world already proved something about older hardware. I can post a link, again.
I’m not sure many people, would care about that. Doesn’t seem as “serious” as you say, but that’s me. Kind of like the speed difference tests. But I understand to some people Apple should pay up for what they did.
