I'm afraid to update anything else ...

My iPad mini has slowed to a crawl. My iMac isn't quite the same either. Does Apple sabotage these as well?

Sometimes it does things all on its own as if it’s been taken over by aliens. But maybe a new update will rid the phone of the unwanted guests. My friend said her phone is doing some strange shit too!

It was fall of 2016, just as my contact ended. Forced me to get a new 6S Plus. And yours is acting weird now? Everything and anything that happens odd now is suspect.

Are you listening Apple???

It would not be surprising if Apple was slowing down all their older devices. Why wouldn't they?
