Apple plans to disable old iPhones

In recent years, electronic devices have become more and more essential in our daily lives, and smartphones are probably the most important device of all.

However, with the speed with which new technologies are developed, older devices can become outdated very quickly. This seems to be the case with older iPhones, which could soon be completely useless thanks to a decision by Manzana.

According to the last reports, Apple is planning to disable older iPhones that have not been updated to the latest version of the operating system. It is not that Apple is going to make these devices unable to turn on anymore, what it will do is eliminate basic services for its operation.

These services are for example the App Store, Maps and Siri on devices running iOS 11 as the operating system. Of course, iCloud will continue to work. The decision is quite controversial since you will not be able to download applications or consult the map, nor will you be able to activate Siri.

Apple will end the main features of the old iPhone

Despite the fact that these services can be used perfectly today and have not presented any problems, Apple has decided to end them in the coming weeks. We will have to wait for the news to be official from Apple. Everything indicates that what the company wants is to generate the feeling of obsolescence with these iPhones.

In fact, this may have a lot to do with the fact that their devices have a long lifespan and users are not forced to change mobile devices as frequently. It is possible that Apple’s plan is directly related to getting users to bet on new devices from the company.

If this is the case, the way in which it would force users to change their mobile leaves a lot to be desired and, in fact, it is very creepy. In addition, taking into account the social and economic environment that has been experienced in recent years it may not be the best time to be able to change the device for one that costs the SMI.

We will have to wait to see how the move turns out for Apple, but everything indicates that users will express their complaints when their devices that have been running for so long lose basic features that are used on a daily basis.
