Many people, myself included, have felt that Apple has been subtly forcing user to buy new devices. How? by pushing out software that older devices cannot handle. For example, if you follow me on twitter, you know that I've been experiencing many problems with my 4th Gen iPod touch since the iOS 6 update. I've had numerous apps, including system apps, freezing, crashing, and I've just felt like overall, the device has slowed down. I just don't think that iOS 6 was as polished as Apple wants you to believe. The maps alone have many customers outraged.
But like the title says, I feel this is more of a conspiracy than a coincidence. Here's why: the latest generation iPod touch is set to launch very soon and they are already taking pre-orders for it. So what better way to force buyers to upgrade their iPod for the holiday season, than to release a software update that the current generation iTouch can't handle, right?
Maybe this is just me being over dramatic, but I'd like to think I'm right; that somewhere in Apple HQ they are just laughing it up over the fact that current iTouch owners will have to upgrade for better performance. Obviously with the improved specs of the newest generation iTouch, this will already be the case. But I for one think that iOS was meant to run perfectly on this new device, and run in such a way on the older generation, that people will be "encouraged" to buy it.
So what do you think? Is this all part of the big A's plan, or do you guys think this is just a coincidence?
