'Selfish' apples | Please let my old iPhone die

Last Thursday, under the influence of Apple, the iPhone user Experience a roller coaster in the sky and then quickly bottoming out - as Apple switched off the old device downgrade system on that day - including devices released after the iPhone 5, iPad Air, and iPad mini 2 System can be downgraded.

For a time, fruit powder hi Big Ben ran - 'finally be relegated!'

However, this carnival did not last long, just an hour later, Apple turned off the demotion of most devices channel.

Not downgraded users or downgraded successful users, but for downgrading users, the news is a bolt-on - which means they can only upgrade their own old equipment to the latest iOS 11 system!

In this regard, the online dictators have ridicule:

'Android users: you can upgrade to Android 8.0! Stick Great! IOS users: My God! You can downgrade to iOS 10, fast!

Hello dear users, we are cheating you to upgrade iOS11. We downgrade through the opening, so that you feel promising, quickly download the firmware and DFU brush into, but we are faster than you, when you brush into the downgrade firmware , We turn off the verification.You can not be verified, you can only choose to upgrade to iOS11, Enjoy our downloader. '

Really a strange thing, why other users of the system may not be upgraded to the latest system, when Apple users want to stay in the old version of the system?

Because there is only fruit, in order to clarify why users do not want to upgrade, let's take a look at why Apple wants you to upgrade.

Avoid fragmentation

In the past two years, Apple rival Microsoft has also been "learning" about Apple to do similar things - 'Seduce' users to upgrade to the latest Windows 10, because the fragmentation of Microsoft's Windows operating system has seriously affected Microsoft's future development.

Windows systems have undergone more than a dozen iterations of updates from Windows 1.0 to the current Windows 10. Few have focused on new system updates due to the inconvenience of early system upgrades and the proliferation of pirated systems. The reason is because the Windows system was the business model, buy a penny earned, naturally dispelled the enthusiasm of consumers to upgrade the system.

However, to the era of mobile networking, Microsoft wants to make a unified platform for Windows 10, only to find that the fragmentation of the Windows system has lost its weight, it is difficult to promote their own ideas, which also directly affect the Microsoft WP mobile ecosystem .

Back to Apple's iOS system, although Apple iOS hardware devices compared to Windows devices much less, only the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV and other products, but these few product lines are Apple's top priority, each A product line serves millions of audiences.

And each device resolution, screen size is different, so the power of Apple iOS system fragmentation should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, Apple attaches great importance to this issue, so they will "force" users to upgrade to the latest system, so that Apple has enough capital to order developers to develop suitable software for the first look.

Imagine, if there is still a lot of iOS 11 on the market before the system, then Apple has the confidence to declare that iOS 11 will no longer support the 32-bit application of the move?

Fix bugs and improve system stability

Recall that a few years ago, when Apple released a new iOS system, the majority of the people most probably not when to update to the latest iOS system, but look forward to when to have a new system of jailbreak.

Due to the closed system of iOS, jailbreak has become the most important weapon for geek players to crush the iPhone, freewheeling Change theme , Install third-party input method , Install the plug-in ... iPhone also playful.

However, jailbreak for Apple is not a good thing, on the one hand jailbreak will greatly undermine Apple's ecological environment, so that piracy flooding; the other hand, iOS system jailbreak means that this version of iOS system loopholes , Is not safe for apple too.

Therefore, the update system will be able to completely fix the loopholes, cut off from the roots of jailbreak.

Hidden 'chaotic priests' heart

As Apple pushes only 1-2 new iPhones a year, the new iOS system uses the latest iPhone as a 'mold' and has become the 'Mother of Tomorrow' that basically became 'Mother's Day', so the old IPhone naturally experience less than the best system experience.

However, even if you can not experience the "most perfect" version of the new iOS system anyway, because according to 'Moore's Law', the old iOS device hardware itself began to feel powerless, so to ensure that the new iOS system on the old iPhone has the most basic fluency , Ordinary consumers will not make irresponsible rewards.

However, Apple, after all, is a commercial company, in order to ensure that Apple users upgrade the enthusiasm of the latest equipment, it will not be stabbed behind the knife to consumers a trickery "deliberately undermine the performance of the old iPhone?

For example, some time ago Apple was broke, the loss of cell phone battery name, performance reduction.

I believe after reading Apple's why you want to upgrade the latest system of reason, you can understand why users are not forced to upgrade the system, or upgrade the system still want to come back.

The problem with all this is that Apple places its own interests at the most important level, and consumers are just humble mice.

But fundamentally, Apple is really doing the same thing, whether it's fragmentation, jailbreaking, or the latest hardware, which has nothing to do with users who already own the old iPhone.

The user is concerned only with the smooth use of mobile phones, mobile phones can not maximize the potential to play out, rather than every day to prevent fear of Apple's own mobile phone upgrade to the latest system.

So selfish apple, please open that for our normal user Self-degradation 'switch', rather than let our ordinary users bear the pain should not bear.

How to make the old device die properly?

On the one hand, we must also take into consideration the 'healthy and sustainable development' of the entire application ecosystem. On the one hand, we must also take care of the feelings of the old users and the burden on Apple's shoulders.

However, it now appears that Apple balance the balance of old users and new devices obviously some imbalance, the new device, Apple blindly spoiled, but for the old device, Apple is completely left unattended, not to operate well.

However, I think that Apple, as the planet with the highest market value and gold content, should not stop here, should assume a higher sense of social responsibility, and should not ignore the old users.

While older devices do not 'perfectly' enjoy the latest operating system, Apple's 'perfectionist' personality should not let the phone get stuck, slow down and disgust users.

Imagine, Apple can completely fit the old equipment for a unified 'ceiling' system, one does not need to tweak the upgrade or not, Apple does not need to worry about the fragmentation of the system.

It's like a slow lane dedicated to the aging old devices in the fast-moving Apple Drive, allowing devices that are no longer drag racing to enjoy their years in slow lanes.

I think this is what Apple should and must do, because only in this way can we see the glitz from the Jobs era in Apple, not the Apple businessman who now has a stinky look.
