re: More proof that iOS 8 was Apple's worst OS launch ever

I think one of the biggest reasons for the slow adoption is Apple's attempt to use iOS8's poor support and functionality on older handsets to push people to get new ones.
I think that the word has gotten around that if you have a device idler than a 5S or iPad Air, then you can expect a big slow down if you upgrade to iOS 8. In addition, since many of true new features of IOS 8 aren't supported on older handsets, what is supposed to be the motivation for upgrade?

I have a 4s and have no intention of ever upgrading to iOS 8. I'll get a new phone before I upgrade the OS. Last time I updated with an older model it made the phone run like garbage. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me, you can't get fooled again.

Fight the truth! Support the narrative!
Apple supports new devices for 3 years. When they take out new features to get the new OS to run on older hardware people say that they are purposefully leaving out those features to force people to upgrade. When they leave in those new features, people say they are purposefully making their phone run worse to force them to upgrade. It's a lose-lose. I guess they could just stagnate the hardware so the new iOS will always run on older phones. That would be great.
