Then, it compared the results with the searches for &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/samsung-galaxy-note-9-specs-first-leak-6gb-ram-snd-845-and-bezel-less\/\">Samsung Galaxy<\/a> slow&#8221; and discovered that term was little affected by new Samsung releases. The study, carried out by Ph.D. student Laura Trucco of Harvard University, accuses Apple of deliberately sabotaging its old products.<\/p>\n<p>In an article written for the New York Times, Mr. Sendhil Mullainathan, an economics professor at Harvard also, used the word &#8216;striking&#8217; when he wanted to\u00a0describe the results. \u201cWouldn&#8217;t many business owners love to make their old product less useful whenever they released a newer one?\u201d, \u201cWhen you sell the device and control the operating system, that&#8217;s an option.\u201d Mr. Mullainathan wrote. However, facing the criticism coming from the community, Apple is yet to provide any responses.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/iphone-7-plus-e1507020545615.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/iphone-7-plus-e1507020545615.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"444\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59273 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"old iPhones\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><br \/>\nThen, exactly, how can Apple sabotage its older products? Well, the answer is through software updates. iPhone users might have been familiar with the notifications of upgrading OS showed on their phones. If you choose not to upgrade, that notification window will reappear again and again until you say \u201cyes.\u201d A user once said: \u201cIf you want to keep your iPhone running at the same speed, do not do the software upgrade that comes out within six months of a new iPhone release!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Apple makes all old iPhones slower when new ones are launching<\/h3>\n<p>In conclusion, we think it\u2019s not a smart move for Apple to use tricks like this to increase its profit. Anyway, Apple is a smartphone business with a super high reputation, so it needs to maintain that image in customers\u2019 mind. Don\u2019t you agree with us?<\/p>\n<div class=\"31e97817518902a1d132cf665aa26f91\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7613953952\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Companies often tend to draw the public\u2019s attention to their new products.
