Even though Apple's new iOS 9 update has received an encouraging response -- in fact some may call it phenomenal since it has seen the fastest adoption rate in iOS release history -- owners of previous generation devices are still hesitant to make a jump, so they should. Every new 'major' iOS update has a reputation of slowing down an older iPhone/iPad leaving users both anxious and reluctant whether to upgrade or not.
And, by the looks of it, iOS 9 is no different. Apparently, it is slowing down older iPhones, namely the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S, and to an extent even the iPhone 6. We are not even bringing the previous generation iPads into the picture here.
According to Apple, 50% of iOS users had already installed the new iOS 9 update on their devices within a week of its release. But, the real story - behind the adoption and real case scenarios - is different.
YouTuber iAppleBytes has compared the performance of iOS 9.0.1 to iOS 8.4.1 on the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPhone 5S respectively, and let's just say Apple's iOS 9 continues the trend of subtly hinting users to upgrade to the latest and greatest iPhone/iPad to enjoy its full potential.
There is general increase in boot time and the camera gets slower courtesy the new update.
