Yep. Apple supports their stuff a lot longer, but it does seem like it slows down more and more every single update.

I'm really soured on the whole portable device thing completely because I don't like the interfaces, I don't like touchscreen (imprecise garbage), I don't like how locked down it is by default (Android over iOS here plus some Android devices are very hackable to the point of getting root, but still), and I hate the intense data collection and tracking these devices do to you. Even phones rooted with custom OSes still track you by its mobile radio triangulating your position.

The planned obsolescence is just another frustrating aspect to the damn things.

We agree on every point except Apple products slowing down significantly faster than Android. My personal experience has been the polar oposite.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
