Total delusion.

My mothers iPad Mini became so unresponsive after the iOS 8 update, we literally had to throw it away.

Apple will also win or get the lawsuit dismissed as they have too much money to beat them these days.

Ultimately, it is for another topic but we're not talking 4 out of millions. We're talking millions out of millions. Planned obsolescence is a key Apple strategy.

Preach.I agree it's downright unusable. These fans dont know what they are tolerating. Even Android Gingerbread was faster than iOS 8 on old Androids .If planned obsolescence didn't exist law suits on the issue wouldn't exist in the first place

How do you know how many? People have been saying iOS 8 crippled their iPad 2. Mine is perfectly usable. Differing perceptions? No you don't know how many and the planned obsolescence is just tin foil material.

Tin foil hat? Are you kidding me?! I've been using Apple products since the iPhone 3G and each and every one is useless with every subsequent update.

However, here's just the top results from the keyword search: planned obsolescence apple

There's literally 1000's more.

I guess all the leading media houses and journalists all wear tin foil hats.... :rolleyes:

Don't delude yourself. Planned obsolescence does happen and Apple is very guilty of it.
 
So top results from a google search is evidence of that? As I said tin foil material.:eek: And like belt Internet discussions are no more evidence other than people thinking 1+1=3

Carry on deluding yourself then. There's no point arguing with a brick wall.
