Former software engineer at Apple is whistleblowing She says whenever Apple launches a new phone, they would push an update to older iPhones with malware to slow them down. This pushes people to upgrade “I used to be a software engineer at Apple, and with every new phone that was released, malware was installed on the older phones to make you have to update, so your phone's not just glitching. It's doing that on purpose. Share before it's deleted” She’s telling the truth, this was proven in court The 2017 “Batterygate” scandal, where Apple was caught deliberately slowing down older iPhones through software updates Apple was caught red handed doing this they even admitted it in court Apple released iOS updates that intentionally throttled and reduced CPU performance. This caused phones to feel slower, glitchy and laggy Apple’s stated reason: To prevent unexpected shutdowns caused by aging lithium-ion batteries

lol "malware" is doing a lot of work here. it's called battery throttling and they got sued for it years ago — not exactly a whistleblow when there's a public settlement

Then fact this person called it malware makes me doubt they ever worked at Apple. A name drop would be nice to verify. Oddly convenient they left it out.
