Maybe I'm entirely wrong: isn't this the forced obsolescence that Apple is famous for? If it isn't, could someone explain to me why?
Not at all trying to be obtuse, but this is exactly what is meant by "forced obsolescence".
I’m certainly suspicious of them intentionally not fixing some performance bugs until later to encourage people to upgrade now that the new phones are launching.
The fact that the battery drain has gotten worse with the final iOS 17.0 version is what really made me suspicious and why I wanted to see what others have experienced.
The joke is on them (or, really, me) because I have a 15 pro arriving tomorrow anyways.
Yeah, exactly my point. I'm not saying they break things or make them unusable. But it does seem clear that they detune software to get a mix of slightly better performance on the next gen (below what the hardware improvements suggest) and significantly worse-than-possible performance on older devices to try and force upgrades.
