If you’ve had an iPhone for a few years, I’m sure all this sounds familiar. As a general rule, iPhones, like all other devices, start to get worse over time. However, many people associate this with the brand’s fault, so we buy another one.
And in a way, that’s true, since devices used to last longer, right? Well, there are caveats to that statement, and not everything is true, and obviously, they didn’t have as many features as they do today. Being simpler, it’s also normal for us to believe they last longer, because if the camera was already bad, or didn’t even have one at all, we wouldn’t notice the difference.
Why iPhones fail after 3 years
One of the main reasons for this, which we have already talked about, is due to battery degradation. After a few years, all iPhone models lose battery capacity. This not only affects battery life but also the rest of the components, since the power supplied by the battery is not as stable, making processes such as taking photos worse, thus preventing, for example, the phone from turning off unexpectedly.
This leads us to believe that the iPhone magically takes worse photos, and one of the reasons for this is this, in addition to possible wear and tear, drops, scratches on the lens, etc.
On the other hand, due to the same issue, the iPhone heats up more, which causes it to reduce its performance, lag, take longer to charge, and a thousand other reasons, making that phone that was great the first day no longer seem the same.
And this is not due to something planned by Apple, although they lost a lawsuit for something similar in their iPhone 6, however, as of today, this is not the case, nor do we believe that they will play it again in the same aspect, so we have to trust the apple brand, and if we see that our iPhone works worse, change the battery and hold on as long as we can, since, like every product, it has an end date.
Likewise, new apps, updates, etc., are becoming more powerful every day, so the WhatsApp app of 2010, which was very shabby and had hardly any tools, will not be the same as the current one, to give an exaggerated example, which means that the model from years ago, which supported the application well, will have a hard time starting today’s one, and yet, it is not the iPhone’s fault that it runs worse, but current demands also make that happen, and if we multiply it by everything we use daily, imagine.
