    Please elaborate on the iTrash slowdown thing. I have an idea of what you’re referring to but want to make sure I’m right.

      iPhones and iPads famously get slower, laggier, and less useful as time goes on. This is not just because of its use because even resetting one will make it just as slow as before. Sure, as we move forward we get more demanding applications and such, but it seriously doesn’t seem like that scales properly with the ability of the hardware, almost like Apple intentionally builds in incremental slowdowns in each patch that isn’t installed on current hardware. It’s apocryphal, I know, but there have been so many people complaining about their perfectly good iDevices suddenly not performing like they used to even after a refresh that makes me feel like there’s at least something to it.

      And don’t get me wrong, Android phones seem to do the same to a certain degree. iDevices are just more famous for doing it.
