I KNEW IT!

Has your iPhone been slow lately? Let me guess – it’s been slow since you updated to the new iOS… BINGO! Many readers of this blog probably already heard the news but if you haven’t, the worst kept secret in electronics has finally been confirmed. Apple slows down (“throttles”) your iPhone with every new iOS release. This is unbelievable news. It took building heat and building evidence in Reddit forums to back Apple into a corner far enough that they confirmed it’s true.

While neither an explosion nor a slow burn is a thing you’d want to experience, if you HAD to choose, one option is preferable. But let’s be clear; phones are not EXPLODING!  …they are melting.
