The point is, it\u2019s fishy how it always coincides with the launch of Apple\u2019s new products.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few years, this type of sentiment has been common across social media.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/lrc-cdn\/assets\/2017\/12\/Capture8.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-668292 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/lrc-cdn\/assets\/2017\/12\/Capture8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"601\" height=\"490\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a common business practice. Goods are made to break, if they weren\u2019t, corporations like Apple wouldn\u2019t really experience much profit. Sure, new applications and features may be added, but a lot of money is probably going to be lost if people\u2019s old iPhones are just as fast, and work just as well as the new ones.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn1.collective-evolution.com\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/12\/phone.jpg\" width=\"651\" height=\"470\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now, Apple has admitted to the correlation, but provided an explanation. Because older iPhones have aged batteries, the device slows down and doesn\u2019t perform as well because it\u2019s compensating for the poor battery and it spends more energy on trying to avoid forced and unexpected shutdowns, not because they want people to upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, it\u2019s quite clear that&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lewrockwell.com\/2017\/12\/no_author\/apple-publicly-admits-the-iphone-is-designed-not-to-last\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not long ago, a study was published suggesting that Apple deliberately sabotages its old products.
