At the same time the vast majority of those "average punters" generally don't think or care much about things like that and just update when an update is offered and continue not thinking or caring much about it all one way or another.
While I would love the ability to install any version that a device could support, I don't think that simply not having that ability directly implies and confirms something like planned obsolescence--it can certainly fit in with it, and it can perhaps be somewhere in the reasoning, but by itself it doesn't mean that it actually is or confirms it.
Well, the numbers are mainly there for developers to give them a better idea of what to support and basically having more people on the same latest and greatest is beneficial from that point of view.
. Though if we wanted confirmations we would be in a rumours site in my opinion. Let's agree to disagree on this one .And 7.1.2 is even better, and 6.1.6 is way better. Yet it still doesn't prove what you are employing. It can fit in with it, but it doesn't prove it, nor does it demonstrate that that's specifically what's behind it and for those specific reasons. But we've already been down this same well traveled path many times across many threads already.
Do you mean the website? I couldn't find anything...

I sometimes wait to update for a few days because iOS is close to unmaintainable (by design) and a flanky update in the middle of uni and me using some needed apps for uni could make my life unnecessarily hard. So sometimes I need to wait for a little while before I do update and those alerts are annoying as all hell!
Glassed Silver:ios
Thanks, I will try that!
I think that what we would like is the ability to *choose* which iOS version our phones run. Legacy hardware support is commendable, but locking users in to those updates is not.
Not even looking st the videos as you said in the deep water test, no proof of anything. iOS 8 was the worst release of all, fast means nothing when not stable. But you may be right, iOS 8 might have been proof of planned obsolescence.
Not everybody feels as you, I like iOS 10. Best o/s to date, for me.
I didn't give in. I tried to soldier through all Apple's pesky nags and not update. (And for those of you wondering why. Apple forced a software developer to crippled some key functionality in their App that I was using because it competed with Apple's music app and I was holding onto the version before the crippling occurred, so I didn't want to update the OS). Then "for some mysterious reason" my phone crashed. Even though I had local backups (not iCloud) - I could not restore to the old OS! It forced me to restore using the newest OS. I later found out that it doesn't backup the OS, just your data. You have to restore to the new OS and the new Apps. That's how they got me to upgrade... smh
If a device takes 3 seconds just to open settings its unusable in my book.
Another option is to allow us to downgrade anytime we want just like how it is on Google Pixel.Android does not need OS updates to recieve new APIs as its done via pplay services and not OS Updates so the device does not slow down.This is the reason why my Nexus 7 2012 remained fast till today while my iPad 2 from 2011 became garbage on iOS 9
And this "little" adds up to being an atrociously slow device after afew years.Are you telling me the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 cannot handle opening the keyboard and reading the keystrokes after I tap the screen?Because on my iPad it took 5 seconds just to catch up to input.My iPhone 6 has stutters in the mobile data screen,the app switcher and even scrolling iMessage all of which it used to do perfectly on iOS 8
Solution=Offer downgrade option.I use it all on the time on Android.I use it all the time while updating my PC drivers.I
I cant because not even Apple provides to its users what you currently stated.Device does becomes slow over time and the older devices dont get all the new features provided by the latest OS.People bash Android for no updates but if they actually took the time to compare what older iOS devices get through OS updates and what the stock apps get through the PLay Store,there is ABSOLUTELY no difference between the two[/QUOTE]
This video is trustworthy because proof of planned obsolescence was ironically posted by an Apple channelNot even looking st the videos as you said in the deep water test, no proof of anything. iOS 8 was the worst release of all, fast means nothing when not stable. But you may be right, iOS 8 might have been proof of planned obsolescence.
This happens to my Mom Every.single.time. That red badge is the cause.It lures unsuspecting customers into contributing to Apple's marketing chart just so that Timmy can compare Android's chart to iOS in a completely false comparison and crack a pathetic joke which isnt even funny
