Don't Be Fooled by Apple

In February 2014, I got the iPhone 5c. I was excited to get a new iPhone since my iPhone 4 was slow and had terrible battery life.  I decided to get the 5c instead of the 5s because I wanted the pink color, and it was cheaper. 

In my thought, the only difference from the 5c and 5s is that the 5s has a home button that can read your fingerprint to unlock the phone.  Why pay the extra money just for that?

The main things I was excited about was how much quicker my iPhone 5c was compared to the iPhone 4, and how the battery life wouldn’t suck anymore.  I had my iPhone 5c for a year.  Most phone warranties last for two years. 

However, after the first year was up, my iPhone was already running slowly, and the battery life was terrible.  I had to charge my iPhone at least 3-4 times daily. 

Apple designs new updates for the iPhone regularly.  These updates make the older iPhones work more slowly, which encourages you to buy a new updated iPhone.  This is how Apple makes millions. 

As uberfacts tweeted, “IPhones are designed to last only a few years, then they break down and work slower.”  (Some people say that’s true of all technology these days.)

After one year I had to go to the Apple store to get a new iPhone 5c due to the terrible battery life, and because of how slow it was.  

Don’t be fooled by Apple.  Take care of your phone, and think twice again before you update your iOS.
