Remember Apple works like a start-up. 
 Secondly,  I understand it. It’s about focus. The pick tasks and focus, if they do “both” then chances are the improvements won’t be front and center.  Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but I would imagine the code probably should remain relatively unchanged if they want gl focus on improvements and bug fixes

So Apple is going to terminate production of an iPhone after it replaces it with a new model? 

Holy cow, somebody tell CNBC.

Daniel, aren't iPhone 7's still in production even tho the 8's and X are out now?

Anyway AFAIK the editor of the AI article was accurate when stating "If this is the case, it would be the first time that Apple has not retained the previous year's model..." Is there a previous instance you can think of? You know far more about Apple than I do. 

Actually the article is wrong.  Apple aced the 5. When they revealed the 5s instead they introduced the 5c. My guess has always been, the 5s’s only distinguishing feature was the Touch ID so they axed the 5 to keep people from severely cannablizing its sales.  

This is what Apple did with the 5 first they made it taller the they made it wider with the 6. 6.1 may help Apple bring the phone back to a 16:9 display versus the 18:9 it is now. I like my X  i feel like I get much better battery especially since I always have the battery saver turned on. And  there was a rumor Japan display was coming out with a lcd display with similar properties to oled  

Apple could not have “made this an option”  what would they say? “ we are giving you the option to slow down your current iPhone to avoid random shut downs and possible other battery issues like overheating and explosions. Apple has always underclocked there chips.   Like I said in my last post. I would guess this is a combination between the iPhone being dropped and older iPhones with slower processors handling current apps and features designed for more recent iPhones.  

Everyone is just looking for Apple to trip and land on its face so they can take in money from a class action lawsuit. 

Apple likes to keep performance consistant  amomg its devices.   This is why Apple allergedly underclocked the Intel modem to match the speed of the Qualcomm modem and many other things.

Everyone is jumping on Apple for slowing down the phone to maintain a consistent experience for all users.  This is probably also why Apple is designing there own power management chips. How many people want it to come out that the reason for the battery issues is due how many times you have DROPPED you phone? My iPhone 6 kept shutting down at 10 20 and 30 percent. I attributed it to being dropped several times. My 6s didn’t have this issue as much. Instead of acting like th battery was dead it simply rebooted.  I attribute the issues to the phone being dropped several times.
