Electronics dont just "degrade" like living things.

KEK. I have an iPhone 4 I stopped updating 2 years after I got it and it runs buttery smooth.

Except for overheating, water damage, and other catastrophes, how would you damage a chip? They don't really wear out.
And if it did degrade, it wouldn't slow down. It would just stop working.

That's what you get for using Apple. I have no doubt those fuckers cripple older hardware in newer software updates so you buy newer hardware.

Proprietary software:

Free software:

feels good not falling for the software """update""" meme
