Apple has finally admitted that they intentionally slow down speed on older phones yet they claim to do it to preserve battery life. On Wednesday, Apple said a software feature released last year makes your phone operate more slowly but only to offset problems with its lithium battery. Wait, what does that really mean? Could it be?, . . . Apple is effectively saying that it’s slowing down older iPhones just to urge people to upgrade to newer devices. MORE STORY: HERE

Apple said in a statement:
“Our goal is to deliver the best experience for customers, which includes overall performance and prolonging the life of their devices. Lithium-ion batteries become less capable of supplying peak current demands when in cold conditions, have a low battery charge or as they age over time, which can result in the device unexpectedly shutting down to protect its electronic components.”
