Comment Re: I have a slow iPhone 6 (Score 1) 169

Ok so I have run battery diagnostics and appearently my battery is at 88pct according to Battery Life Doctor.

It would appear my phone is not throttled but that the latest iOS is just too much to handle comfortably for my iPhone 6.

Bought Geekbench just now so here we go, the numbers donâ(TM)t mean anything to me right now:
1547 Single-Core Score
2627 Multi-Core Score
Geekbench 4.2.1 for iOS AArch64
System Information
iOS 11.2.1 on iPhone 6

As I assume I cannot downgrade to iOS 10 Im stuck with a poorly performing phone or will have to buy something new. Changing battery wonâ(TM)t help, so good to know that. Happy i had this conversation, even if it was impolite.

I’ll have a look at geek bench for iPhone but I know my phone is underperforming since the latest update. Siri is slow, I have to wait before contacts load and many other small annoyances that are new. Actually I can’t be arsed to deal with it or have this conversation so I’ll stfu and may buy something new tomorrow. I have work to do.

that is nearly unusable. I have been pondering since December on buying the X or Galaxy but now I may just have the battery replaced.

Thereâ(TM)s nothing wrong with a 6 and Iâ(TM)m against upgrading just for the sake of it. Also i am happy with touchid, but would not buy a new phone that looks like the old phone.

As it stands currently the iPhone 5 we have laying around with an old iOS and a dying battery is actually faster than he 6 with current iOS.

Apple has normally been good with keeping stuff going and with this latest move they are hopefully back on track.

I could easily buy the latest and greatest, but I prefer to spend more, buy quality and make it last. The late 2011 15â(TM) MacBook is an ace that with minor upgrades (SSD+Ram) keeps going strong.

Just my 2 pence.

One important point in the discussion is where the pollution happens: I prefer ev's in town even if being powered by a coal power plant out of town. On the motorway, it doesn't matter so much as combustion engines are very efficient and not a lot of people live along motorways.

Actually there are a lot of (metaforical) burgers to flip. With the increase of free time and disposable income tourism has boomed since the 60s and whole nations are dependent on service sectors.

There have not been so many restaurants, bars etc in history as from the second half of the 20th century onwards.

If everything is automated but nobody there with an income to buy good or services those automated facilities will be pointless and ultimately self defeating unless implemented in a society that accommodates this development. Think Mincome or such things.

This is how it works in the Netherlands. Taxing and tax breaks make many people choose environmentally friendly cars like hybrids and electric. In this country is Tesla costs about 18.000 euro's if you factor in the tax breaks over a period of 3 years. This is also the reason the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is the most sold SUV.
