This is one of the common questions and one of the most speculated questions around iPhone doubters, does iPhone slows down over time. The simple answer is no, the phone itself isn’t tuned to slow down after years of usage but there are reasons for iPhone owners to feel this way.

First and foremost, new software update tends to bring additional features and is more demanding of hardware, putting a strain on the processing power of older phones which as a result sacrificing the speed and battery life for better security and features.

Not only that, another reasons that people felt their iPhone slows down is because Apple and developers optimizes iOS and their apps to work on newer hardware in order to give new customers the best possible experience. As a result, you may notice minor slowing down but in actuality, it runs at the same speed as before; it just takes longer to complete particular tasks due to the optimization.

In a nutshell, iPhone slows down not because of Apple intentionally made so but it’s the constant update of software and application in order to made used to the new and improved iOS that Apple produced.
