Other anyone else have iphone fatigue?

I could show you my iPhone 6s but that would be painful. If you don't know what I'm talking about then do some research and you'll find it is a common theme.

I can show you my 6s+. Secondary phone, has it's own active line.



That's my 6+ above it. Oh, and to the right out of frame is my 6s.

And I know what you're talking about, but I think it should be caveated. If you are using your 6s as a substitute computer, media device, TV, game console, etc then yeah. As apps get more complicated things are going to slow down because it hits the processor harder. And sometimes Apple throttles the processor to save the hit on the battery.

It's the same deal as using an older Mac or PC to do more modern stuff. And I've been there. I was PowerPC from 2001 to 2020. Now, I'm all Intel (no M-series Macs yet).

But if you're using the phone as a phone, with texting and some light email then this isn't something to worry about. My 6s+ goes on walks with me and does absolutely fine streaming music over cellular. No slowdowns.

So, declaring that a phone slows down over time because it's being used to do things that now take more processing power is accurate - just not realistic.

Oh, there we go. That's better…

No
I'm 81, my body is fatigued, my mind isn't far behind.
I have had just about every cell phone that came along, I had flip phone and drop down menu fatigue.
Then one day my brother showed me his new iPhone, it was so intuitive, I couldn't believe it.
Went to the Apple store the next day and got an iPhone 3. So intuitive, by the time I reached the front door, I had it all figured out. Waiting to upgrade my iPhone 12P to next new model.
